RE: Become Pretty Good At Drawing And Rendering The Human Figure - Artloader - 12-19-2016
Thanks John :). I'll probably change my mind and go back to block rib cages later down the line - you never know!
This deathline goal has given me a real enjoyment for studying art anatomy so I will probably continue with this on and off for a long time to come. Let's face it I will never run out of things to learn on this subject - it's a never-ending journey!

"Become Pretty Good At Drawing And Rendering The Human Figure"
OK so here I am at the end date of this goal and I don't feel that I have progressed as far as I'd hope but I am still pleased with the progress I've made.
Success criteria:
1. Be able to construct realistic and fluid human figure poses from different angles. I have improved but I need to do more figure study paintings.
2. Be able to construct the human figure in perspective. I feel more confident but I still need to do more figure studies from difficult angles.
3. Be able to accurately construct human anatomy (bone structure and musculature) from different angles. My knowledge has grown but I am nowhere near knowing enough - more écorché studies would help here.
4. Be able to render the 3D form of the human figure with values and colours. Painting is where I feel there has been the most drastic improvement but I need to continue the figure study painting.
Before:
Here's a sample of my work from before I started working on this goal:
After:
Here's a sample of my more recent work:
What's Next:
I am going to switch over to environment design for a while now but will cycle back to figure study at a later date. I'll be setting up some new goals for 2017 imminently!
