2nd update
Portrait Class
Feel like the past 2 weeks I've noticed an improvement with my drawings. To me they seem alot stronger than my previous drawings from the past few weeks.
lucas has been saying in my crits that i'm using too many hard edges and to go alot softer so for this one I tried going alot softer than usual and rather than putting my hard lines in as prgress thorugh the drawing (like I usually do), I got my lay-in down first and then went back and put in my hard lines and I think for me that works better.
Life Drawing
Drawings for the past 2 weeks. Gestures are the usual 3 and 10 min. It's still taking me abit of time to fully warm up, my 3's always look like crap and it's not until I get to my 10's that I feel like my hand is listening to my brain and I can see how the gesture looks if that makes sense?
One thing i've noticed is that I have a habit of drawing my bodies too big for the heads so I need to be conscious of it.
Been doing really bad with the longer poses recently. Been struggling with my meaurements and proportions, think I'm still not use to the way Erik goes about his figure drawings.
On this one the model was sitting really close to me, I couldn't even stretch my arm out to measure with my pencil he was that close! (I remember my arm kept hitting the chair) so I think that was what was throwing me off with this one.
With this one I struggled with the gesture and had a really tough time with getting the measurement between her head and clavicle right aswell as the width of the pose as her left side (right in drawing) just kept on looking way too wide.
Quick Sketch
Haven't had as much time recently to work on my quicksketch so this was all I could manage. This was after the male life drawing session as I felt that my male quicksketches could use alot of work (and they still can).
Been making this apart of my schedule the past few weeks and I'm planning on iclduing head quicksketch again aswell as part of it, draiwng from my physical head models aswell as ref.
Reilly Abstractions
Some more work on my abstractions to help with my quicksketches. With these I tried measuring more with my eye rather than with my pencil to help train my eye.
