Today's class was all about figure studies of the human body. Learning how to understand line of action, weight, balance and dynamic form. Drawing from the grounded reality of life is an integral part of learning how the human body can move and how it is constructed.
The first 2 drawings done were more of a warm up of sorts. Hastily done with no refinement or real precision. Focusing more on basic shapes an flow of the body position.
These sketches had more time and effort put into them. With a larger timeframe to draw these poses I was able to better capture the posture. Attempted to sketch hair and even fingers.
The last 2 sketch's are where I really tried to capture the perspective morphing of a character in a dynamic pose. I didn't do very well and with him laying down I failed unfortunately. Though in retrospect doing it in photoshop with a mouse was probably a bad idea, but I was to stubborn to give up.
Now What?
I really need to work on eye's. To be honest I didn't even really attempt to draw them. Never been very good at drawing eye's often avoiding drawing the eyes by covering them with some sort of accessory like glasses. The hair also really needs some work. I'll watch some tutorials on drawing hair to see how I can improve on that.
