Drawing on Location

These are the drawings I did during our on location session.

1)

During consultation with Prof Jesse, we discussed on areas I could improve on, particularity the wrist, elbows and neck. Up till that point, I’ve never actually thought of the wrist as a separate block in between of the forearm and hand, where I usually draw them with a line separating it. That really opened my eyes cause I knew there was something wrong with them but could never see the actual problem. Hence I went back and redrew some of the poses (below) with them in mind.

2) Redraws

Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend the session where the class improved on their location sketches and Prof Jesse suggested I find the time to do more location sketches but this time to be more conscious of the space surrounding the subject. I still redrew some of the location sketches for practice.

I couldn’t find photo reference online so I took a photo of my hand instead.

Made her a lot less stiff. I used photo reference for her folds.

I used photo references for her legs and hands.

These are some sketches I drew during work study. I tried to pay attention to the surroundings this time, how they sat, lay and eat, to make it look like they belong to the environment rather that two separate drawings laid on top of each other.

Overall if there’s one improvement I would make is to really work on my line work and explore the width of the strokes to get specific shading/effects.
