This one is the second draft I showed in class.
After class, I tried to darken the tune on the left side to make a blur feeling showing that it is the old generation. The Pioneer MRT Station also implies the pioneer generation.
Photos I took in Pioneer MRT Station for composition at first.
When I got the topic, I first considered drawing different people living in Singapore happily, and I thought public transportation would be a good background as many different people are around. Therefore I drew some drafts in MRT and buses.
Finally, I decided to draw the MRT station and divide the paper into two parts, the one on the left represents the old generation came from the past and the other part represents the new generation heading towards the future. The MRT trains represent the connection between the two generations.
Then I drew the first rough draft with the Pioneer MRT Station as the background and circled the places I wanted to draw different people later.
After that I practiced different human figures with different poses including young man, little kids and the old.
Later I elaborated my first draft with details about the MRT station and the exterior of MRT trains. For the train on the left hand side, I searched the pictures of old MRT trains and drew according to it. For the train on the other side, I chose the one with more modern outlook.
Then I drew the final draft.
This week we used brushes and chinese ink to practice about tone. We only use black ink and it was a little bit hard to form the shape.
At first, we did four drawings using different composition to prepare for the night drawing.
Then we started our night drawing using the composition we liked most. We used white chalk for highlight and could use yellow or brown for the lights. It was important to show different tone using different color or even different ways of coloring.
First we practiced using tune to express a feeling. I tried to darken the outside of the picture to form the feeling.
After that we did some portrait. It was hard for me to draw the whole skeleton and I tried to practice more about the skeleton. The eyes was another hard part as I always cannot draw the size and angle correctly.
This week we continued to practice line of action.
We first drew it with pencil then we changed to charcoal. We prolonged the pencil and charcoal to feel more fluent when drawing lines.
Also, we turned to draw the figure using cubes and cylinders.
This week homework assignment was to draw some figures using line of action.
This week we started figure drawing with practice of line of action. It was hard to find out the line of action and therefore need a lot of practice. Actually it was quite fun to find those lines of action and it really helps to draw the whole figure.
Homework.
