Figure Drawing Final Week- Cafe Drawings and Nostalgia

The final week was an excellent one for figure drawing. We focused our efforts on cafe drawings, and quick narrative sketches of people. We also did a couple of twenty-minute poses but only to wrap it all up and compare it with our drawing from the beginning of the semester. I can't help but feel that I've definitely improved. Can't wait for next semester!

Nostalgia: Before and After

 This disproportionate lady was drawn the first day of Figure Drawing. Note the freakishly tiny hands.

Here's the figure from our last class. Not too bad a drawing for a stressed-out sleep-deprived zombie.

Ringling figure drawings & Illest of Ill sketches!

Here's a few figure drawings I managed to take pictures of. Each of these are 40 minutes.

Last Friday we went to the Illest of Ill opening night. It was an amazing opportunity to look at the work of upperclassmen and meet new people. Casmer wanted our class to get a few cafe drawings in so here's the results.

Yes, the event was 20's themed.

I apologize for the bad quality of the pictures-- I just wanted to get something posted!

Ringling Week 4

Here's some of my (better) figure drawings at the conclusion of Week 4

We're starting to go into anatomy for figure class, which unfortunately is my weak point. I'm going to try and focus on this especially, because it's difficult to measure and scale things properly... So more focus on measuring and control next week.

In other news, I had time during this weeks DPSY meeting to doodle people.

Ringling August Drawings- Week 1 & 2

Well, the first and second week of Ringling have been completed!
It's been crazy adjusting to this whole college thing, from having a roommate (an awesome one at that!) to living in Florida (lots and lots of rain and humidity) to just not having any family/old friends around.
Weird stuff.
But I'm getting used to it.

Here's my figure homework- the only familiar thing going on with all the projects and classwork and stuff.

Yeah, at art college we hang out in our free time and make silly poses.
