week 11 muscles

in this drawing does show off the pose well and does have bit of detail such as the muscles in the neck, the chest such as hair and there seems to be some slight shading around the body. however there isnt enough shading around the body and makes the image very hollow. the arms seem far to skinny and don't show off any muscle at all and are far too straight. there seem to be a bit to much negative space between the legs. there is room for improvement such as adding more detail and shading this make the image look much more realistic and also adding in detail on the head, arms and feet.  

anatomical study 

the images below are anatomical study of certain  parts of the body rather than the whole body. here we get more detail in the study and be able to see curves, lighting and bone structure of the model. 

torso

here is a study of torso. the proportion on the body is right size, we get a good outline of the body and even the curve on the spine however the arms are to straight we don't really see the muscle and how the muscles curve. there is some good shading around the body and some nice detail in the skin such as on the spine, with the detail on spine and helps to show the curvature of the spine. 

leg

here we have a study of a leg, we can see that this study has a lot more detail added compared to the previous study, such as curves of the calf muscles and detail such as shading and hair.  the shading here is used to indicate the bones such as the ankle. there is some nice detail added such as the hair on the leg as well as little shading on the leg. however  there could been bit more shading on the calf area.

week 10- movement

this post is all about movement. here we will see quick sketches of model as well as the movement of the model. the skill of being able to quickly sketch movement are great help to improve on anatomical skills and of animation and video games these are mainly used in pre production such as story boards.

quick sketches 

here we have 3 quick sketches of model in different poses using drawing techniques know as continuous line . this is where you continue drawing without removing the pencil form the page. you can see that the images do improve. all the images do help to show off the pose of the model, the left image does show some weight and balance. we can see that most of the weight is on the left arm and the body leans towards left to balance out the weight. the right image also shows so weight and balance as the pose shows how the legs are evenly. however the biggest problem with the images are the proportion of the bodies are wrong, the some torso are to wide and the legs to skinny such as the middle image.  

here we see a quick sketch of moving person. this is very rushed and early drawing that was done, however even though this rushed we get enough information about how the persons walks around the table. however the sketches aren't very well done as it doesn't show the proportion  well and by the end the bodies get much more skinny and doesn't really show how the placement of body such as legs, arms. there is a lot of work to be done to improve. 

direct study

here we have a quick study of some movement, there are a verity of different movements sketch here, walking, stand and punching these are just practice to on the movement drawing techniques.  you can a slight improvements.   

week 9 Basic Anatomy (no week 8 cause was at BAF Game)

this week was all about anatomy so that means we were doing drawings of life model. this was my first time doing such type of drawing and looking at my work I have a long way to go. 

stage 1- quick sketches (1 min each)

Here we have some quick sketches of the model. we can see that there is some  planing such as place lines on page which outline where the shoulder and the angle of the shoulder as well. also mapping out where arms go as well as the spine. this is to help when drawing the model as know where to draw. 

stage 2

this drawing took 5 minutes here you can see more planning such as where the body parts such as legs, arms etc will be placed as well as the angle of the hips and waist. one problem you can see is from the leg on the right side of the page there is far to much negative space between the legs, the torso doesn't look very realistic as the right side of the torso is to straight there isn't any curves at all.  

stage 3

in this image so can see the use of measurements by using the pencil to mark out the length of the model and  to mark out the waist and length of the arms. here the drawing is much better the curves are much better and the proportion of the model has improved. however the head does seem a bit to small and the arms aren't very well detail and doesn't show any muscle and look to straight. 

                                                                              stage 4

here is the final image of the model, we can clearly see how this image has used the techniques from previous   sketches. the proportions on the body are right and the head looks right size. there is some detail around the body such as curves and folds in body. however there isn't much shading on the body and left leg looks out of place. 

direct study 

direct study  image 1- front view 

we get good sense of the pose in this image, we can see that the model is angled away from us. there is a bit of foreshorten on the left shoulder as it is angled away from the viewer. the breasts aren't well drawn as there  far to many hairy lines around them that they don't look natural. the hand isn't well drawn and doesn't look natural. the neck if far to big. 

direct study  image 2- back view 

their some good use of detail in this image such as the shading on the hair, as certain areas are more darker than others due to the light, the folds on the skin are clear as well and we can even seen the line of the spine. their is some good shading being used here as you can see around the shoulder areas their is a much darker value due to the model being angled away from the light. 

direct study  image 3- side view 

good sense of pose in this image, we can see a little foreshortening on the back of the leg and on the shoulders as we have just see where the other leg and arm is. the breasts are a bit smaller compared to the model and as you can see their have been attempts to correct this in the drawing. their isn't as much shading on this model compared to previous drawings, the shading is mostly event on the right side of the body and the hair.  to improve this drawing its should include more shading around rest of the body to make the image. the arm is far to straight and doesn't show much muscle.
