Had to take care of some things on Wednesday so didn't get the time to post, really gotta stop saying i'm going to post on a certain day and never do...
Portrait Class
Portrait from life last week. It looked ok in the lay-in stage but once I added tone it looked kinda Blair witchey, definitely went too dark on my middle value and my shape design needs alot of work.
This is from this week. I did some master studies of eyes and did a general refresher on eyes aswell which I believe shows.
Life Class
Drawing is from the first week of the 3 week sessions. Can't make it this Wednesday so mixed it up and completed a finished drawing in the 1st week and a painting in the 2nd using the zorn pallette which went better than I thought although I got the wrong colour for the shadow on her back.
Hand Studies
Some simplification of the hand bones and some hand drawings from Proko.
Master Studies
Some master studies of eyes, the top of the page are some studies from Brian Knox and the middle 3 are studies of Norman Rockwell and Gil Elvgren. Bottom left is my attempt at drawing eyes from ref trying to incorporate what I was studying. For the time being i'm gonna do my master studies like this and just focus on individual aspects of figure drawing (e.g. studies of features, studiues of just arms and legs and so on) as I can get alot more done rather than focusing on one long master study.
Anatomy
Focusing on arm anatomy atm as I'm not really good with it. Started tradionally but switched to digital since it works alot better for me as I can do break downs of each muscles quicker.
I go away this Wednesday up to Edinburgh for the short courses at their atelier. Most likely will not get time to post before then so I'll be gone from the forums for just under 2 weeks.
Going to take lots of photos and notes while I'm their so I might see if I cna post daily like a blog or something or just wait till I get home as I'm noit sure if I'll have the time or not, we'll see.
I plan on taking my sketchbook so I can continue with anatomy studies in the evening, hopefully I have the time to squeeze it in.
See you all in 2 weeks!
