This compilation is for all of my work in ART 2. I have to say, I enjoyed this class much more than ART 1, probably because it had more assignments that revolved around characters and the human form. That's not to say I'm not thankful for ART 1. But I digress, presented are a few of my pieces from the past four weeks,
These are the line of action poses from week two. These were especially difficult to complete because during week two I was on a vacation, and had to use random people and my boyfriend as models. Like I said, difficult, but still very rewarding and fun. This exercise really helped with learning anticipation and weight, and how to draw it properly.
I'm very proud of my drawing for this. The assignment was to pick a human form to study and redraw. The image I used is from pixelovley.com. I chose it because it was interesting to me in all aspects, and had a nice range of value to attempt. Before this class I wasn't too great at the human form, but now I'm very comfortable with drawing it.
The height and width studies for week four's character concept. The character I thought of is an eighteen year old living in 1945-1946 after being kidnapped by Nazi SS Officers for Project Lebensborn in the 1930's. This was helpful in height referencing and will be good for referencing my future characters.
The turn around for my character. I changed the opacity on the jacket so as to see the underlying clothing, making him easier to model as far as width of body goes. I hope to get some time to model him, because now that I can draw people it's the next step, and it's always been my dream to make my characters come alive.
This month was crucial to my skill-set as an artist. It really helped in understanding the human form and the steps necessary to create a professional and efficient character design to pass down a pipeline. I still have work to do as far as practicing realism, but I've come a long way from when I started, and I'm excited to learn more.
