Nov 8 - Nov 12

This week in Life Drawing was pretty interesting. We only had class once and we spent the majority of the time listening to a lecture about the legs/foot muscles, going over our second shell drawing and doing a long drawing of the feet.
My second shell turned out pretty well, definitely a lot fast than the first. I tried new techniques with this shell (the things I was told to work on with the last one). I used less lines and only 3 lines going on the long axis of the shell. We were told we didn't totally need them, and that if they were added they would have to have enough movement and depth as the other lines. I like having both, so I'm happy with the way my shell turned out in that sense. I also did not have any sort of outline on my shell this time. However, I was still told that I need to work on curving my lines around more to make the edge more implied {I do not know what I'm doing wrong here- so any suggestions or examples would be nice}. After the feed back from both, it will be interesting to see what the next shell turns out to look like.

I've always struggled with drawing the feet so it was nice to get a few hours to JUST focus on them during class. I got two completely different angles with each foot so it was good practice. The first foot was completely straight on, while the second was completely in profile. I struggled a bit with both, especially the foot that was straight on. It was difficult to capture the whole foot while avoiding any distortion. The foreshortening of the toes was also a struggle. Overall, though, I was pretty satisfied. I'm looking forward more drawings of the feet and to an attempt at hands in the future!

 

 We also had assignments to begin adding muscles to feet and rest of the leg.
