More work from last week.
Mainly more academic drawing and trying to work on my proportions/drawing what I see. I've bene basing it off the first lesson in Schoolism "Essentails to Realism" course but I think it might be time to progress from lesson 1 and start incorporating the later lessons aswell.
Portrait Class
I keep forgetting to take photos of my block-in but I did it the same way as I have been lately. I think I need to study some academic block ins and see how they break down features or body parts. Maybe work some more from the Charles Bargue course? I'm drawing what I see, atleast I'm trying but I'm definitely going wrong somewhere.
Life Drawing
Still finding blockin in an entire figure to be a challenge as I kepe getting my measurements wrong or placement wrong which throws off the rest of the drawing. I guess simply doing more block ins is the only answer to my problem. On this one it's hard to tell but she was lying on a chair so her body was foreshortened. It was the width of her body that I kept struggling with, and her right hip as it kept looking wrong no matter how much I measured.

Erik
Week 7
As usual I did the block in and then applied construction on top and trying to better understand the forms.
Brian
Week 7
Figure Drawing
I took the same ref from Erik's class and tried to correct my mistakes as I was struggling with the block in stage, and understanding the underlying forms.
Construction Drawing
I first tried breaking down the figure into simple shapes and see how I was visualizing it was correct
Block-in
Trying to work on my block-in skills/measuring skills. Did an intial block-in which I compared to the block-in I did in photoshop to see what mistakes I had made, and then trying to self correct myself and take the drawing to a final lay-in. I got abit anzy and tried to visual the bones on top. Probably should of stopped myself.
This week I'm working more hours in my day job so won't have much time for any practice apart from my tuesday/wednesday classes. My plan was to instead catch up on some instructional videos such as progreesing in the "Essentails to Realism" course, maybe that "russian academic drawing" course on nma and some steve huston videos, and some reading of solomon's and speed's painting books.
