Life Drawing Midterm

 We drew Jafar in life drawing class.

 Unfortunately the real Jafar was unavailable. Instead we had to practice drawing him beforehand and picture the model with his crazy proportions (with the aid of the model's pretty neat costume).

 I like how the face turned out on this one.

This was a gesture sequence. The model continuously acted out a scene (in this case trying to run for a bus and missing it) and we had to pick out important "story-telling" poses. Each was about a 3 min drawing.

These were all drawn on 24" x 36" sheets of newsprint.

Animals!

 Today we took a field trip to the Agricultural Museum! Here are the highlights.

 These fluffy goats were tons of fun to draw.

 Whups, forgot to finish the front legs on this ram.

 More of that ram.

 Another goat.

 

 I like how this pig turned out.

And this feasting cow.

Wipe and Erase

This was a one hour long pose done in life drawing class. I used a technique we recently learned called wipe and erase, where you begin with a mid-tone (smeared conte) and repeatedly alternate between drawing and erasing until you have a nice balance. The left foot looks small to me here but I think it's the way the paper was rolled during the photo.

Done on a 24" x 36" sheet of newsprint.

Dog Studies

From when we drew dog skeletons (plastic) in life drawing. The next part was adding muscles.

Drawn on top on a sheet of tracing paper using coloured pencil.

Here's the whole shebang.

I'll see if I can figure out how to upload my dog walk animation...
