Life Drawing In A Nutshell

Life drawing has been a very different ride for me, mixing more free stlye organic drawing with my intense accurate perspective pres tech class has been  a huge challenge for me this semester. By only having the class twice a week it gets real hard to hold on that organic rythym in my other work. I did really enjoy the class though. The biggest beneficiary for me that came out of this class was mapping out the body. Finding the pelvis and the ribcage made drawing a body easier because you knew the proportions were right.

I just wish we could've been able to spend more time on the face because that is where i'm the weakest right now in my opinion. It was hard trying to crank out a self-portrait with only a week's worth of information, but still it was fun and I recomend it to anyone that is looking for a great drawing class. 

Some Wacom Work

These are two tee-shirts that i freehand designed with my Wacom Graphics Tablet. The only objects that are not actually drawn myself are the bubbles and splats, they are a free text that I downloaded and used to it's graphic advantages. The lime in the top shirt is also a text insert. Other than that all the fruit and characters along with the type are all freehand drawn on a Wacom Tablet. Tee-Shirt Design is one of my favorite graphic design projects to do. So stay tuned for more.

Gesture Drawings

The first set of three drawings are from the beginning of the semester. And I have learned a lot since than. Gesture drawings are actually my favorite compared to full out detailed drawings because they hit the bare essentials of human form. 3 minute poses are usually the right amount of time for me to get in just what I want. You can really tell a difference between my earlier gestures and my new gestures. My earlier gestures really have no solid form, they're just loosely drawn stick figures. My newer drawings start incorporating the ribcage and pelvis, plus they are also more refined and structured better. Just look at the difference.

RECENT GESTURES

These drawings are starting to get more developed and take more human shape, with a variety in line and line weight. These drawings incorporate more important parts such as the spine, the rib cage and the pelvis. My drawings also focus mainly on the main structure rather than the outlines of the form. I was particularly happy with the structure of the ribs and pelvis. With guidance from Amy I've been able to tighten up my proportions and location of the Ribs and Pelvis and how they relate to each other.
