Apologies for the late update. I was planning on updating on Sunday but I had zero motivation that day to do any work so here we are.
Feedback from classes
Anatomy
Reilly Painting
Foreshortened Figure Drawing
Work from last week
Anatomy
Almost at the full figure now. Going to try and get an additional tracing or 2 done this week since I haven't been able to the past 2 weeks. I have this weeks homework roughly traced, just need to clean them up so I'll try and work quicker.
Reilly Painting
Adding colour to last weeks block-in. Went abit too orange with her complexion which I've corrected this week after viewing Erik's feedback (just waiitng for it to try so I can scan it). I got the tone/value correct but fudged the colour portion.
Foreshortened Figure
Male lay-in this week, I'm getting abit quicker but I still want to work on getting quicker but that's more of a long term goal.
Quicksketch
Homework for the past 2 weeks. Still 5 minutes per pose. Feel like my quicksketch has definitely improved this term, still having proportional issues (mainly small heads) but hopefully that should get resolved soon.
Figure Lay-in
More figure lay-in practice. I've been trying to impliment my anatomy knowledge with these, which i guess doesn't really show on some of them since the models don;t have much muscle definition, but still.
Memory/Invention
I've been taking Erik's advice for improving my figure invention which is taking a figure you've drawn, drawing the same figure from memory, and then trying to draw that figure from different angles. Sticking to basic angles atm, want to read up on Loomis's box method for posing the figure in perspective to help with more challanging angles. I beleive there is another book which covers the same topic but can't recall it atm.
Poster
Slowly working on this poster idea. Only have time atm for 1 day a week since my other days are spent doing the various assingments that I have. Only have 2-3 weeks left for classes so once they are done I should be able to finish this. Including today I've spent 5 days on it, trying to stick to 2-3 weeks since that seems to be the norm for other poster artists.
Re-worked some of the psoes from last week, just addressing proportional issues (left) and then moved onto the final drawing (right).
