| This week we studied hands. We still started the classes with full body gestures, though this time we went straight into 1 minute poses. |
 |
| Here are 5 minute studies of both pull body poses and hand construction. The hands in the bottom right-hand corner are from a 20 minute study that destroyed my brain. |
 |
| This past week we've continued to try to emulate our favorite artists. I tried to channel Glen Keane, though I relied too heavily on outlines. |
 |
| For our latest homework, we had to emulate an artist that we love while drawing 3 different statues of David. I chose Glen Keane and while he's nearly impossible to imitate, I'm quite happy with these. (Though the Donatello one and I had some issues...) |
 |
| Our teacher Owen was sick with the flu last class, so his rad TA Dustin led a shorter class for us. I had a "hit or miss" kind of day in terms of drawings. |
 |
| I was quite pleased with my longer poses. I'm finding that I'm benefiting from the longer poses more often than the shorter ones-- which is a little odd for me. |
 |
| I had another decent session with my figures-- I feel like the charcoal stick is really helping me to loosen up. We actually had a twenty minute pose, which was a surprisingly nice change of pace. I kind of missed longer poses. |
 |
| We also had homework over our spring break to study images of the Rape of the Sabine Women statue from different angles. We had to draw 3 gestures and 3 constructions of it-- I made the mistake of drawing the construction on top of the gesture instead of starting a new image, though. |
