ANIMAL & CREATURE DRAWING


1.1 - ANIMAL NOTES

Here's the Notes i took regarding the assignment. I find it much easier to reference than having to skim through the lecture.


1.2 - ANIMAL FIGURE DRAWING

Straightforward, I Just tried to figure out the anatomy of a animal reference. Looking back i notice a few differences with the size of certain body parts.


1.3 - CREATURE CREATION (EARTH)

This was bit more difficult, I tried to combine different animals to make new ones, i wanted to challenge myself so I picked different kinds. I struggled at first trying to combine animals but i got more comfortable as I continued. The animals Combined are (Dog/ Rabbit), (Rhino/ Dog/ Beetle), (Penguin/ Squirrel).


1.4 - CREATURE CREATION (ALIEN)

This was assignment was bit more fun, I wanted to create something new but also base it on something. For this assignment I followed the overall design process Marc Suggests but ultimately I let the flow of design dictate how my drawing ultimately ended up. I drew inspiration from multiple sources ( the biggest i think were the Alien series and Cosmic Horror (Cthulu Myth)

That's it, let me know what you think. Thanks

NUDE FIGURE SCULPTING


These assignments were pretty straightforward, sculpt a figure from reference, I decided to skip the Individual Anatomy Parts Sculpts because i figure i could work on those as I worked on a full sculpture.

2.1 RELAXED FIGURE SCULPT (4 Weeks)

  • For anybody who hasn't done the assignments for this class, TAKE YOUR TIME POSING YOUR FIGURE. Marc Mentioned it in the Lecture but its really important.

After Spending a month on my first assignment I am not Satisfied with the results mainly because the pose is off compared to the Original. instead i continued to work on it and made adjustments as i went but that was more time consuming (added roughly another week to revisions). All that being said, I decided to move on after a month. I am not happy with the final result but i learned from it and i hope anybody reading this dose as well.

below is the Original, Final, and some Progress shots.

What kind of effort here!
Maybe the head is out of proportion ? Too small?
Also the neck in the profile view looks strange, but the gesture in the scuplt is here overall!
