TERM 5 - Alejandro

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.

That's It for now. let me know what you think about the pieces.

Hey @valentecarlo, Thanks for the feedback, I actually hand't noticed but, the size of the head does seem to be off. especially in the profile view, I didn't notice it because rarely used that view to check my proportions and i was focused on making sure the arms and the legs were proportional. also the neck does seem off as well, I probably missed it because i was to focused on trying to get the position and orientation of the head correct above everything.

CHARACTER DESIGN

---

Finally completed this class, It was a really fun class. I was able to flex my creative muscles with it. Let me know what you think of my character designs.

---

3.1 - SPACE COP - INSPIRATION, HERO SHAPE, & CHARACTER DESIGN

INSPIRATION

HERO SHAPE

My original shape was the spherical shape but after getting feedback from Marc i decided to adjust it into the more rectangular shape. (I did polish it up mainly because i used it as practice for coloring and shadows.)

CHARACTER DESIGN

I decided to make 2 characters out of the hero shape because i couldn't pick a favorite design. Let me know which one you like best.

---

3.2 - VIKING - INSPIRATION, HERO SHAPE, & CHARACTER DESIGN

INSPIRATION

HERO SHAPE

For my last design, my hero shape was easier to come up with, i struggled more with the character design than the hero shape. This is the opposite. I had a final idea in mind and wanted to build my shape out of it. So it took long, I have went through multiple shapes before i arrived at the final one. I also had 2 color schemes in the end, I went with the blue instead of read.

CHARACTER DESIGN

For character design my original design was created before I had created the final hero shape. so the change in design seems gradual, Ultimately i changed my hero shape because i wanted to make full use of it in my character design.

That's it for now, as always, any feedback is welcome. looking forward to term 6.
