Life Drawing 03
Today I had another 2 hour life drawing class. The class was with a nude model and we got three poses out of him. The emphasis changed from analyzing the muscles to trying to capture the proportions as accurately as possible so I could maximize my learning from the longer poses.
This drawing below looks like a nice stylized version of the model but since I was trying to capture him realistically, it was somewhat a failure.
This drawing below turned out better but the left leg didn't match up and in reality his left foot was actually in line with his right. Again, this is somewhat a failure, a good one though since I had improved from the first one.
This drawing below could have been really successful but the left side of him is too far to the left and he is a lot wider than he should be.
This is my last drawing today, it was with a 40 minute pose whereas the other two were 20 minute poses. This is by far my most successful piece today. Everything seemed to line up nicely and I feel I managed to capture his pose really well. I was also able to add a bit of tone since I had the time and I actually managed to not ruin the piece by doing so, which is often not the case for me.
Summary:
I have now undertaken 3 life drawing classes and I have been able to analyse how the muscles relate to each other and how they change when they are put under stress, I have also analysed the general proportions of the human figure. Hopefully all this will help in my animation performances. I already feel that I have been approaching these classes with more maturity and I have been trying to take in as much as I can about what I see and trying to also understand it. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to next weeks classes because I am booked in for a guest lecture but hopefully I will be able to do the week after.
