Another week has failed to completely drown me in work. But this one definitely tried.
Drawing wise I don’t feel that I accomplished much. Monday was clay work and Wednesday’s drawing left me frustrated. I was unable to portray the form as I wanted, partially because of the odd views I had, but I shouldn’t blame that. I need to learn to capture and communicate difficult perspectives. Drawing the thighs was difficult, possibly because of a lack on understanding of how the bone structure works. With Friday’s drawing being cancelled I don’t feel I made any worthwhile works at all this week. I have planned to draw with some people on Sunday so hopefully that will remedy this.
Outside of class I have a few projects on the go. Mostly practices of landscapes and characters using a tablet I’m borrowing. I am determined to keep drawing non-class related things this year, as last year I didn’t do any.
As for the clay I think I’ve figured out the pattern. I always struggle to figure out what it should look like. After ages I decide that I’m completely lost only to come to class and discover that I wasn’t too far off. The quads and adductors were fairly straightforward, in comparison to the hamstrings anyway but after reworking most of them I think they are fairly accurate. For a change.
With midterms coming up we are into the business end of the semester. It has flown by. In preparation for the folio I have been looking over the work I have done in this class and I was very happy to see a marked improvement. It’s always reassuring to see proof, especially in so short a time. Of course I still know that I have a long way to go.
Difficult perspectives are what I have to work on as well. To me, they can be extremely frustrating.
ReplyDeleteDrawing non-class related is a good idea. That is what I have started doing more, as it is more freeing and you can be more creative
I think that this last week I was having difficulty with drawing some of the structures, and I think as you said it would help if we would learn more about the actual bones and how they work. There is just so much to learn and not enough time to learn it in it seems.
