Knight's sketchbook

[dimensional-knight]

Yep! At first I was just outlining the form to get used to it and getting a sense of what sort of sketch carries useful information because aphantasia makes it very hard to see volume without certain types of landmarks to anchor my mind.

Now I'm doing more gesture-like studies, investigating how joints influence fat, how I can get better lines of action, this kind of thing. Of course, sometimes foreshortening, misplaced or not familiar enough features get in the way, so I'll take a break to get them to a level they stop interfering in studies.

I've been looking a lot at Leyendecker's work and his masterful simplification of forms too.
