Dang, I'm impressed by the sheer number of gesture drawings here! You're really grinding those things out.

Hey thanks! I'm trying to teach myself that they're not supposed to be very precious, and hopefully in the process get more loose and well, gestural with them.

Term 1 - Week 5 - Nude Figure Drawing Assigment 4

Mannequins done with reference on the side rather than drawing ontop of them. Overall they're OK I think. The pose is there but some of the underlying structures have issues. Mainly the oval for the rib-cage is way to short and the neck is too long.

Really fine work mate

Term 1 - Week 6

Starting to get not-so-frustrated at the gestures now. But my lack of anatomy knowledge is starting to show, especially in the longer 5m studies where I run out of things to add it feels like sometime. Not because there's nothing too add, I just don't know what.


Looking good, sometimes its really all about discovering the way things look on the body when drawing them, finding fun curves and line combos that look badass, emphasizing some 3D with contour lines or shading what you see - no descriptive anatomy necessary

Learning all that 3D form business is way more useful imo, not that anatomy aint nice or important as well

Cheers

Term 1 - Week 6 - Perspective 1 Assignment 3

A bit behind on week 6 due to a business trip, but finished the 1p perspective room assignment. Wasn't really sure what to do with the values so plopped in 3 different ones where I thought it made sense. Was a fun assignment, and could probably do more with it but it feels like I have to move on.

Term 1 - Week 8 - Perspective 1 Assignment 4

This was mainly done with the line tool in CSP, and a two point perspective grid. As it was done without reference I got kinda stuck on the back-left buildings. Didn't know what to add too them. A mood board/references would've helped a lot here, clearly I don't look at office buildings enough. :stuck_out_tongue:

Term 1 - Week 8 - Environment Studies

Tried a different approach on these 3 studies, being less concerned with line accuracy and more focused on finding the point of interest in the piece. I find that outdoor pieces with a lot of organic things are way more difficult. I also tried to zoom less, drawing all over the piece rather than focusing on one area at the time.
