This week has been pretty busy in class. On Tuesday the 3rd shell was due (with ink), and it was really cool to see everyone's. As overwhelming as it was to ink the shells, they all turned out really great! I knew before class what I was going to need to work on with my next inked shell but seeing everyone elses shells gave me some good insight for my next (and FINAL) shell. I'm pretty happy with this one, but I feel that I got a bit heavy in the ink. I would have rather had a more light color. I also need to add some black to my "red-orange" (though it appears more pink than anything) to tone down the vibrancy. Luckily where I struggled the most, the hole in the shell, won't be in my next view. I will definitely have enough to worry about with the next view, so not having to deal with that should help my ink ability.
After the quick feedback on the shells we started working on the hands. They were pretty difficult for me and my first drawing, which I didn't post, was more "realistic" and round, but I think my attempt at doing a boxy approach was more successful. Not too sure how I feel about my drawing over all though. It was definitely a struggle.
Thursday we got to do skulls! I was pretty pumped about this because I had wanted to focus on the face for a while. I actually really enjoyed drawing the skull a lot; class was really relaxed and that helped. This drawing was pretty good for me, I don't have anything to complain about. Hopefully we get to do another skull drawing for our next/final class!
Your ink drawing and skull both turned out really well! I like the color of the shell, is that a pink ink or was that just a happy accident? Good luck on your last shell.
ReplyDeleteI also really enjoyed doing the skull drawing, but your skull looks much more successful! Great job with all of the details in the contour lines. The form looks accurate and convincing, even the challenging teeth! Very well done!
ReplyDeleteI really like your skull! It's so realistic and the proportion are great! Your linework is always really nice and so are your forms :)
ReplyDeleteI have to second what has been said thus far, I think your skull drawing has got to be one of the best I've seen from class. Great job with the contour lines I think they add the form of the various planes that make up the skull.
