Life Drawing

During the week, I went to the O2 and covent garden for life drawing.

I observed many people walking in a hurry, either alone of with friends. Some people are sitting and eat or talk. Some people are watching a show or just play with their phone. Everyone has a different movement posture, and I have improved my drawing ability and motion capture ability by sketching their movement and daily life around me.

Week 4

Tattoo & "Human" Sketching

I am very interested in tattoos, especially Japanese traditional tattoos. At the same time, I also like to draw some creatures with human bodies but no human heads.

In these sketches, I tried to combine tattoos with them to create, which I found very interesting.

I especially like big poses , which can make me feel vitality and tension. When they are combined with tattoos, I will use some simple lines as the background to highlight the subject.

Week 5

Shape

Human Body Sketching & Shape

Through this class, I have a deeper understanding and thinking about the relationship between shapes, people, objects and daily life.

Through the combination of different shapes, different forms of people/buildings/objects can be obtained, which helps me explore the design of animation and improve my own abilities.

Three main shapes: circles, triangles and squares can be seen everywhere in life. It is also an indispensable part of animation. After understanding this and sketching, I have a better grasp of drawing techniques.

Urban Sketching

In order to explore shapes in daily life, I set out with my group members to Greenwich Park for urban sketching.

We went to the National Maritime Museum, Queen's House Colonnade and Royal Observatory. There we saw many beautiful buildings and interesting trees as we passed Greenwich Park. These shapes hidden in daily life all excite us, and doing Urban Sketching has undoubtedly greatly helped my drawing ability.

Week 6

Model Sketch

This week’s class included sketching of live models and in-depth drawing of line of action, human body blocks and precise human movements.

The sketching that combines line of action with the human body drawn with shapes has greatly improved my abilities.

The 2 minutes of human body drawing and body curve drawing that followed made my human body drawing more accurate, and at the same time I gained a deeper understanding and understanding of the human body.

This class helped me continue to strengthen the drawing of human curves and dynamics, and also made me more proficient in human body sketching.

Combine shape and line of action

Sketching human body with square and circle can help me understood deeper on human body muscles and the action of each part of body.

The line of action also help me to make sure the movement of body and sketch the body well.

2 mins sketching of human body with curve and details

I like to sketch curve of body movement first to help me sketch the pose of model more correctly and easily

While doing the sketching I also use pencil to help me make sure each part of the body sketching in right way and the human body not looking weird

I also use shadow to create the sketch of body more vividly

My favorite sketch

Week 7

Drawing Shape

This lesson we keep working on human body.

I have learned three new techniques which are arrow , body line and messy circles.

Through the arrow techniques, I have more deeper understanding of human body and know the motion of each part.

While I sketches with the line of body I can feel the movement of the human body muscles which helps me draw the body part easier.

Sketch human body with really quick messy circles is really fun and can get a special works which I like so much.

Cloud, trees, birds, dogs...... Everything has a shape.

Find out the shape of life can help me do better sketches and work better.

Week 9

Color

Colors and Emotions.

During this class I have studied the connection of color and emotions.

Different colors can create different feelings to the viewer, to explore it deeper, I tried to sketches few different colors on the main background but with same character. I have found out that even with same character but different main color, the feeling and emotions that has created will be really different.
