A first

More foreshortening this week.


Can you guess what "first" it was for me?
Only two more weeks of spring semester!

And, foreshortening time

This week we worked on foreshortening. That crazy thing that happens when you look at a long object from the end, instead of the side. This crap is hard, people! So, enjoy the booty show!

Whoops!

Almost forgot the feet! Nothing special here, just trying a different technique. I built my tone up slowly with many layers instead of blending it to death.

A couple more hands

Michelangelo is spinning in his grave. The reference for this is obvious, the models were my daughter and ex-wife.

Now, on to the feet!

Can I get a hand?

While they have their flaws, these are the first hands I've ever drawn that I don't mind people seeing. Hands are HARD!

Another Master Copy

Here's the latest of the old masters work that I've butchered. Michelangelo deserves much better treatment than what I've given him here. Anyway, here's my version of the study for the Libyan Sibyl.

Module 8 "Raphael"

Ok, so we had to copy a Raphael, no pressure right? I must admit, the intimidation factor was running pretty high on this one. I judiciously measured for hours to get all the parts in the right places. In the end it was worth it though, I received my first "A" in Figure Drawing.
