5 Drawing Portfolio

1) I liked that I managed to keep both subjects proportions similar to each other. I usually have a slight difficulty in that and would resort to digital manipulation to rectify the unintentional size difference from 2 characters.

Some improvements I definitely could make is making a better attempt with the feet, improve the twist of the subject’s waist (the rib cage is looking pretty wonky) and defining the knees a little more.

 

2)

One of the drawings I went back to improve upon, mainly fixing the proportions and improving the wrist and knees. I like the forward thrust of the rib cage, though the genital region could have been done better since at this point it looks like the belly is cutting into the genitals.

One of our homeworks. We were tasked to observe fabric in real life, as well as in from tv shows/movies. I was re-watching John Mulaney’s stand-up special and realized how animated his movements were, creating interesting folds
in the suit he was wearing, so I did a couple of drawings focused on the fabric.

As discussed with Pro Jesse in the beginning of the semester, one my greater weakness is sketching quickly. So for each drawings since then, I time myself to make sure I didn’t take too long, hence I didn’t go to the hands, shoes and face. Though that was a little attention as I wanted to focus mainly on the fabric.
Some improvement would definitely be adding the rest of the body. Also to tone down some of the whites, especially the 3 image from the left, to make it look more cloth like and less aluminium foil.

Context: Prof Jesse suggested that I should pay more attention to the subject’s environment as up till that point, I’ve only been drawing the subject by themselves. And since I’ve missed the lesson where the class got to improve their outdoor drawings, Prof suggested that I should find time to do more on location sketches as a form of make-up.

I’m quite please that I managed to capture this person since he’s quite fidgety when he was on the phone. If there’s one improvement I would like to make, it would be bending the rib cage and pelvic block in a little since it’s looking a little stiff.

Overall, while I personally feel that this sketch is the weakest out of the 5, it is still an important sketch as the fidgety man really forced me to sketch even faster.

Another challenging sketch for me. As this person was stretching, he was constantly moving and I was afraid I couldn’t memorize his position in time.
It may still be a little off but I think it looks pretty natural overall. I also like how I managed to capture his back. An area of improvement would be to stretch his left leg a little more cause currently he just looks like his holding his leg.
