Keke, it has always been a dream to one day sit in front of an easel and paint a model. *imagines myself with a palette and professionally painting a picture of a model*

Well, it sort of happened today. Except that we had to draw intead of painting our male model!

Started off by learning the basics of bone structure. I used to draw anime characters back in secondary school and had never realize the importance of a backbone structure. If only I had knew it back then!

This has definitely open my eyes to a whole new perspective of drawing!

Then we move on to drawing the muscle details of our male model.

Here’s my first attempt at it. I think my proportions are a little off. Whoops. It was suppose to be just right but I took a step back and found that his tummy looks funny initially so I tried to give his tummy a more accurate curve and didn’t realize that I magnified his body area a little larger than the rest of him. HAHA.

We have yet to learn how to correctly draw the hands and feet at this point thus I only gave a rough sketch of it.

The model had to move and my next drawing was his back! I kinda liked drawing the back view (no doubt it was easier as there was no ribs or chest, but I like it because the muscle lines were fun to draw. It’s like each stroke of line gives a little life to the sketch!)

And yay, learnt the way to draw hands and feet I had always been bad at it. Now I’ve learnt the “hacks” of it! Trapeziums, triangles and circles were the trick! Definitely need a bit more practice. My fingers looks so tiny on the rest of the body!

Next up was this picture of him “resting” on the platform. It was a pretty challenging angle. Especially the feet. T_T Keep getting the wrong proportions. Hope to improve with practice!

And yup! That’s all for today. 🙂
