Term 2 - Week 3

Been getting back into the swing of things! Discord user BigBlueDreams gave me some great feedback in terms of how to push my gestures, which made them really fun to do. It's become less a matter of capturing an accurate pose, but rather seeing how far you can push it until it breaks. I can really see the change comparing the first set with the 2nd set.

Some studies of facial features I've done this week.

These are my 5 heads from imagination for the week 3 assignment. Tried doing hair for one of them but left the rest bald cause I have no idea what I'm doing. I also noticed I tend to make the faces way to wide in a front facing view, also the curvature of the face makes it really difficult to picture how to place the features in a 3/4 view.

Great studies! You’re putting in the mileage with the quantity.

Term 2 - Week 4

Week 4 introduced perspective 2, a 3h and 20m lecture on different types of perspective as well as some demos from Marc. Homework changed into daily primitives, rotated boxes, cylinders, geometric shapes etc. I added heads and gestures into the mix too because at this point it just feels weird not doing them.

Here's some of the homework the last two weeks as well as anatomy 1 assignment 4, draw a head from memory. I think I need to do more studies with a more stylized approach, construction is all well and good but it lends itself to some stiff looking faces.

Good call on reaching for other resources to learn more about perspective. I’m going to be doing the same as well since Marc’s video lessons are only covering the absolute basics. I think it’s still important to know the more technical aspects of how to plot the correct perspective even if there are tools like 3D that can make this easier.

Yeah, his video is good for an overview but I felt like it was lacking depth. Lots of big names swear by Scott Robertson's books and so far its been nothing but positive. Quite a bit of vehicles and hard surface towards the end of the book, which isn't really my vibe but I can't deny it's usefulness in learning perspective and drawing techniques.

Term 2 - Week 4

Perspective 2 assignment 1. The perspective is not as tight as I'd want it to be, and the curves are a bit wonky but overall I'm happy with it. Had fun looking up Nordic churches for their architecture and taking some details from each one to add to my drawing. All the open, less detailed areas, would probably look better with some texture but it just turned out very muddy when I tried. I still don't know how to do values, but that wasn't really the purpose of the exercise.
