Life work from the past 2 weeks. Been sorting my room out so only have 1 of my lights in use atm so the pictures aren't the best. Need to start using my tripod as I feel like my pictures are slightly distorted and cock eyed.
Portrait Class
Been doing really shit the last few weeks when drawing portraits almost as if I've gone back in my progress. Not sure if I'm just burnt out from doing them or what but I've decided to take a break from heads for abit anyway. Decided to instead work on drapery since the models are clothed, going to re watch Erik's drapery videos since I'm rather rusty.
Life Class
Usual 3/10 min poses. Going to really dive into quicksketch when this coming term starts as I really want to get good at it.
For the 40 min poses I've mostly been working on the overal "envelope shape" of the figure. Still measuring just not as much careful measuring as I'm used to doing and more measuring with my eye and working on that. (as you can tell by the realllly long legs on my clothed figure). Also been struggling with my 2 value block in from life, think I'm scared/un trusting of really squinting and getting that strong 2 value read as I'm also mapping the mid-tones as a seperate mapping when really I should be combining it with the shadows. Gonna force myself next time to squint hard and trust in what I see.
Illustration
Transfered my drawing to my masonite board and fixed it. Going to start painting it tomorrow and do a burnt umber pick out to get my values correct and that should hopefully be dry by Monday so I can start applying colour.
Going to attempt and "skin colour wheel" like Roanna suggested so might give myself abit more time to complte the painting, hopefully get it done by either Monday or Tuesday.
