Blog #13-

After we studied the shape and plane changes of the skull we began working on portraits. We studied the planes on all the facial features. It was a review from Life Drawing 1. This first portrait we spent about 2 hours on in class. In this drawing I began with the basic form of the face. Mapping out each plan change. After I felt like I had the structure completed I began shading. I want to work on shading a little bit. I think my hand is still a little heavy.

Here are some different views of skulls:

Sooo, again its been a couple weeks that I have updated this. I'm a little behind and disorganized. I'm just gonna post a few blogs explaining each project separately.


I was sick the day that we did the sculpting of the skull. Looking at what everyone else did for this, I think I missed the memo. I thought we were suppose to sculpt the whole skull...Opps! I enjoyed working with the clay though, even though I took the assignment a tad far. I think doing this helped me when drawing the skulls. Sculpting the form really helped me visualize when I was drawing it.

Sorry this blog is a little late....
Last weeks class we critiqued our front views of the skulls. This drawing I tried to use contour lines. I found it a lot easier to put the shading in. We also learned about the different side planes. I had to erase different parts of my skull so that each side had a specific and similar value to the others.
I was stumbling online today and came across a website that explains how to draw hands...I'm gonna post it and hopefully it will help when we focus on the had in the future
