Had some computer issues over the weekend, pc crashed and had to reinstall windows along with all of my programmes. It was pretty straight forward just time consuming so thought I'd post at the end of the week instead when I had some free time.
This is mainly work from last week and the first half of this week.
Life drawing from last week, felt really rusty even though it had only been 2 weeks, did terrible on my quick sketches and will have to re upload my 10 min drawings since the photo I took was terrible. I've been watching Jeff's videos on quick skecth and trying to mimic him but it's not turning out too great. I'm gonna revisit Proko's gesture videos and use his approach and then once I feel comfortable with it incorporate Jeff's way of adding the muscles and mapping on top.
Got back into paitning on Saturday. Followed along with Watts online video for this one. Did the drawing using the ref and then referred to Jeff's to help abit with the shadow mapping. Spent way too long on the final drawingand my shadow mapping turned out terrible, Jeff suggested working through the gouache phase to help with mapping so I'm gonna give that ago tomorrow.
Portrait from Tuesday which turned out horrible. Not sure why I'm having such a hard time in my class, I seem to do ok with my female cast that I draw from but when it comes to my class it just seems to fall apart. I'm not sure if I'm sitting too far away or if the poor lighting is the cause? I'll try moving closer next week and see if that helps.
Skulls from life.
Study of Jeff's quick sketching and some 5 min quick skecthing from photos.
Some imaginary heads. Regarding the middle male head, I tried reallly exxagerating the abstraction lines but the face became really weird haha.
Lastly some Vanderpoel eye studies.
