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.

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

This week we worked more on skulls and the different views. In class we studied our drawings and asked questions to the class to find out what we should fix. Looking and comparing my drawings to others I thought that it might be beneficial to start looking at the skull with cross contours. So with that, I began the next 3/4 view with an outline and then continued with cross contours. When I drew the outline I sketched it in with vine charcoal so if i made a mistake it was easily erasable. When I began shading and darkening lines it was a lot easier to see the shadows and curves of the skull with the contour lines. All in all, I believe that this is my best drawing of a skull so far. With adding in the contour lines it enhanced my shading and detail abilities.

This week we focused on the skull. It had been quite some time since I last studies the skull. After about half way through drawing the first view I began to remember some of basics of drawing it. I remembered that the cranium is 2/3 of the skull. I tried to portion it evenly on either side. After I drew in the basic outlines I began to darken some lines and create value. I think these drawings are mostly successful. Comparing them to the ones we did in ld1, I think I did a way better job understanding the shape and value of a skull. Still again I think the front view is the more difficult view. As you can see, I didn't finish it yet. I'm still working on it. When I finish it I will post it right away.
