As I said last time I started a new practice schedule trying to address some things which I've either neglected, or haven't studied in awhile. So here's what I'm working on now:
. Perspective
. Drapery
. Hands/Feet
. Memory/Imagination
. Painting
Gonna apolgize in advance for the qaulity of my photos. i''ve been working on indivudual pieces of newsprint that I cut rather than a pad so once I'm done with a page I add it to a pile and put my drawing board on top once I'm done. Guess something got caught or pushed which caused a massive crease in my recent drawings so try and look pass the obvious crease.....
Perspective
(Not entirely sure what happened with my pics to cause this weird blue glare, hopefully it won't be present next time).
I've gone back to working through the perspective course on NMA with Erik Ollsen. I started working through the course a few years ago but never completed it for some reason. Thought I'd start from the beginning and just spend a few weeks addressing 1/2/3 point individually, making notes when needed.
Drapery
Started with a costumed figure drawing lay-in.
Some studies of drpaery from the Watts online coursebooks
Diaper Fold
Zigzag Fold
Hands/Feet
Some linear drawings of hands/feet. Top 2 on each page are a study of one of Brian Knox's drawings while the rest are me trying to understand it myself from photo ref.
Figure Lay-in
Another figure lay-in from a few weeks ago. My with proportions seem to be improving (if slowly) but my placement still seems to be hit or miss. I'm not looking to be 100% accurate to the ref but it's off enough to warrant improvement.
Memory/Imagination
Trying to be more active in drawing from memory/imagination. At the moment I;m trying to spend an hour or 2 each night trying to recall or invent what I had been studying that day.
Some hands/feet from memory
Trying to work on my figure invention, specifically how I sraw my figure Mannequin. Trying to be more simplistic since in the past I've felt like I've jumped straight to adding detail and ignoring the basic foundations/forms. Might swithc to digital for these since my sketchbook feels rather small for these exercises (a4), or maybe I just need a bigger sketchbook....
Gouache Tiling
Week 3 progress on my painting, started with applying Jeff's feedback from last week which was to widen the jaw on the left and varying the shape and size of some of my previous tiles.
