Previously on Life drawing one ... Andrew our oddball artist only trying to find his place in this Artsy Fartsy world finds himself pleasantly surprised as he wanders into class late Thursday afternoon to discover that Tuesdays class had been canceled and a short class planned for the day. But with only an hour of learning to be had our artist hero finds himself lost and confused as the pelvic bone is dropped upon his head. Will our hero ever figure out this puzzling and mysterious bone? Will the now ever go away? does anyone really know who shot JFK? Tune in next week to watch the conclusion of this gripping adventure!!!
So last week everyone was talking about how difficult the pelvis was and how confusing it was considering how little time we got to figure it out. I was very happy that this week Amy took some time to go over the basics again. I tried much harder this time around to pay attention more closely. like where the pelvic points are on the front of the body, what the shape of the bone looks like in different positions (kinda like butterfly wings) andthe proportions of the pelvis in realtion to the rib cage. Amy had shown me that basically the rib cage and the pelvis can both be contained in equally sized squares.

I'm kinda gettin the hang of things but i know that i don't have it down quite yet. I still find my self working on the rib cage as the timer goes off.
One other new things we got to do this week was try and hour long drawing. This kinda scared me a bit thinking about drawing that long. I felt like there wasn't that much to draw and i did get stuck a few times. I don't think I have an in depth enough knowledge of all the muscles to be able to see them all on the model but this was my best try. As you can see I got bored and drew a foot and another knee.
I think some goals of mine for next week and hopefully the rest of the semester is to pay more attention to my clay muscles as i build them so that I can use that information more while I am drawing.
I as well am glad that this week we did a recap from the week before. The pelvis was not really going my way either. However this week if felt like there was a big improvement as things were reinforced. So i think things will only continue to get better.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that when it came to drawing the longer pose understanding the muscles better from our models will be highly helpful. So i think that is a good goal to have and i will include it in my own.
I am ALSO glad she went over the pelvic points. However, I really liked the hour-long pose, but was intimidated at first. Drawing like the examples she showed us set the standard bar high enough.. but I was disappointed that she did not get the chance to go ALL the way around the room. I would have appreciated some advice.
