Rather late with an update butter better late than never.
Portrait Class
Started another 3 week pose. Don't really have anything to show from the first week. I started going through Dorian Iten's guides and videos (particulary his accuracy guides) and tried that appraoch to drawing in the first week but it didn't go too well. My problem seemd to be I wasn't simplifing enough and trying to go straight into detail which didn't work at.
I started going through the "Essentials to Realism course" again on schoolism to help me with my block ins, and just trying a different approah to drawing rather than how I've been working to see if it would help me with my accuracy/proportions like Tristan suggested.
This week I completed 2 drawings. 1. using the atelier approach and 2. how I normally draw
Not sure what to do for the final week. I normally paint but I might take one of these drawings to a finish or even start again and aim to get a finished drawing done in the one session.
Essentials to Realism
Some figure practice based on the first lesson of the course. Trying to get in the mindset of drawing what I see.
Life Class
First pic is from before I started working through the course using the constructive/Watts approach.
Second pic is from after I started working through the course again and trying to impliment it into my own drawings from life (only for the longer pose though).
Not sure if it is just me but proportionaly it feels alot better than my past drawings and didn't take as long as I thought it would. Tbh I'm quite liking this way of working. I want to see if I can do this block in first just drawing what I see and then once I have the block in done, apply the construction on top.
Proko Figure Drawing
Wanted to work on my construction, particulary the torso/hip as lately I've felt like I've struggled alot with it in my drawings. Things lke not knowing the positon of the hips or where the legs are connecting. I thought doing some studies, breaking down those forms into beans/boxes might be of help.
Live Streaming
Relaised I haven't posted the h/w's and crits in awhile so here's a big fat dump :)
Erik
Week 4
Week 5 (started implimenting the atelier approach here)
Brian
Week 4
Critiques
Again don't have any trace overs from Brian simply because he hasn't had anything to fix/crit me on so far.
