My Midterm Pictures

So far this semester this class has been really fun and incredibly interesting.  I was quite intimidated before coming to class about drawing people, but after jumping in and taking it step by step everything is starting to come together.

I think that this approach of drawing the figure from the inside out has really helped with understanding the whole system.  It's nice to know the proportions of each piece and be able to compare them to each other.  And easing in to each piece has made the class much more easily understood.

Right now i understand the basic concepts that will get me by but I hope that in the next half of the semester i can really start honing in to the details.  I would like to be more mindful while creating my muscles so that i can use that information while drawing as well.  Right now i don't have the best understanding of muscles when looking at the model and have only just begun looking at them in this way with the very last long pose drawing i did below.

Really started to see the quad muscles as well as the knee

Overall i really just need to be more mindful when drawing and spend more time looking at the details of the model.  Like really watch the subtle curves of the muscle, the shape of the spine and especially the proportions between the ribcage and the pelvis.
