K - Art School Journey

Another sheet of head studies. I should be ready to move on to term 3 soon. I just have another sheet of these left to do, another portrait painting and the monster portrait from imagination that I want to tackle.

[kalienator]

Last page of head studies from some Anime series that I like.

[kalienator]

Here are some monster head sketches from imagination.

Made myself a diagram of the skull and face muscles while I was studying them.

Nice work on the face studies. The line work is great.
For your monster head sketch, what kind of monster is it?
Nice skull diagram.

Portrait study from Jonathan Hardesty's Expressive Portrait's course on Schoolism. I drew the structure first then painted over it.

On to term 3!

Taking some time to study the different types of folds first before jumping into the term 3 assignments. I am referencing the Famous Artists Course and Aaron Blaise's costumed figure course for the different fold types.

Zig-Zag Fold studies

[kalienator]

Spiral fold studies

[kalienator]

Diaper Fold studies. 3 More types left to go. Glad I took the time to study all of these because I am starting to notice the different types now in clothing.

Drop Folds

Half-Lock Folds

I like the portrait study and the clothing folds study. I didn't know there were so many fold types.

[kalienator]

Thank you! There are apparently 7 types of folds. I still need to make another page for inert folds which are folds that are just formed when you throw fabric onto the ground. Funny cuz I never really thought much about fabric and folds until now. I think I just mostly thought of them as being random formations, but it’s cool to learn they have some rules behind their forms.

[gregorya]

7 types? I'm surprised there are so many. You're doing very well on the fold studies.

Inert Folds

I like the fold studies. They are pretty detailed.

[kalienator]

I didn't get much study time in this week, but managed to do a muscle draw over
I need to study the connection point for the latissimus dorsi more. I don't know if i did it correctly in the armpit area. I was having a hard time finding references for that elevated arm position.

A sheet of some torso and back draw overs. I'm going to go back to the cloth studies next and then return to these with the construction method I learned from Ron Lemen to see what information has stuck with me.
