Thought I'd start with feedback from last week.
Anatomy Course
Reilly Painting
Foreshortened Figure Drawing
I've watched the feedback for the quicksketch class earlier but haven't had time yet to make some notes so I'll probably post it during the week.
Some of the work I did last week.
Anatomy Course
Additional Work
I was planning on getting more tracings done but the main homework was taking me much longer than I had anticipated as I found it harder than I thought I would. I kept second guessing myself and going back and making corrections. I've found week 3 easier so far so I've almost completed all of that thankfully so I should be able to get some more additional tracings done this week.
Reilly Painting
Week 2 was focused on mixing the pallette. I added some linseed oil (since that's all I have) to keep it wet longer so that I could use it for this weeks class but a few of the puddles have started to form a skin. I've bene keeping an eye on the puddles so hopefully it's still ok to use.
Foreshortened Figure Drawing
Lucas encouraged us to find our own reference for the class which is what I did this week. Still focusing on the manikin but starting to add more anatomical knowledge to it. Still sticking to 20 minutes on these (Lucas reccommends 10 but that is still too quick for me). Sturggled alot with these, particulary the bottom 2 as I couldn't figure out how to break the torso and pelvis into boxes.
Quicksketch
Week 1
Week 2
These are all 5 minute poses. Week 1 was focusing on the gesture while week 2 was adding structure.
Essentials Hand/Feet
I'm going to be a week behind on these due to my schedule but since I'm only auditing it doesn't matter. Started copying Brian's notes but didn;t get much further since I needed to complete other work.
Additonal Work
Started getting back into figure lay-ins and as you can see I'm very rusty. Still having width proportion issues which I'm struggling to shake. I'm having a hard time seeing the big picture and getting the inital gesture down.
Some more quicksketch practice.
To complement the anatomy course I thought it would be a good idea to spend some time each week doing some figure studies, focusing on the muscles that I've been studying so far and improving how I actually draw the muscles.
Some work in my sketchbook. Some memory/imaginative stuff. Didn't have alot of time last week to work on it so this was all I could manage. Another skull painting still sticking to 1 hour. Tried working more opaquely this week but still fidnig it hard.
I'm going to change my shedule around abit starting this week, either changing some of my study slots or dropping things all together so I have more time for other slots. I've completely misjudged how long some of these classes would take me which is cutting down on the amount of time for my other study slots.
For now I'm going to drop my skull studies aswell as my painting practice in my sketchbook so that I can work on anatomy drawings and work on memory/imaginative work since that is equally important, and dedicate a time slot to working on this poster idea I have since I don't have enough time atm to work on it.
