Nearly Christmas! that means no life drawing for a while .... meh. I might do something diffrent next week and go out on an adventure and draw those crazy christmas shoppers. So this weeks life drawing! Great model, Great body, and has a habbit on sitting or lying down. I wish she moved around more and gave me some more gestural poses but it wasnt all bad i managed to find some movement in her curvy body. Her Crismon red hair with a black highlights was like the main attention to my drawings, simply because my eyes kept going back to it!. I stopped my self of blocking in the hair but instead get a sense of flow in it, At the begginning of class she waffer her hair alot and it gave me a sense of flow. So yeah heres this weeks! longer towards the end and faster at the start( 1 mins/ 10 mins /20 mins)

This weeks life drawing class was going pretty well! the model we had was a male (for once hah) and he was quite flexible. Im so used to using curves because of the female form that sometimes i forgotten how to stop using it hah! Just shows that a good variety of model will influence how you solve the problem or break your habits, i am trying to always learn new ways to push my poses around and this week have been reading up on Glen Vippu. His background isnt really in animation but boy can this master draw, He talked alot about not just copying the gesture but really feeling it. This means getting up your seat and really using that full motion on your shoulder. He likes to start with the head and follow the gesture by using the tendion on the neck as a key point. I tryed to use this technique as much as i can this week and it really click with me! anyways here are this weeks life drawing!, Feeling closer to my dream job and must work harder :)!!

Wow! how fast does time go... i have been working so much on my animation trying to get it right for so long! but yeah i keep forgetting to put these up! i try always to do life drawing at least once per week, i feel its the source of motivation and also relaxation. A chance to get away and draw for yourself in a sense. Draw what you see and draw what you feel in those gestures, sometimes you just need to step away from your work to really see what you have been done, Seing the whole picture as the expression goes. i missed a week of life drawing and i felt myself getting more stress and my work coming out to a standard that im not happy with but after going back to life drawing, i feel i could draw again and feel refreshed. anyways here are what i have missed during the month. They are Gestured from 1-5 mins and 2-25 mins. longer poses are usually more towards the end!

This week life drawing includes the previous one :) i have been abit occupied. For the last 2 weeks i have found this model being very hard to relate too. She was my kryptanite! i couldnt understand her movement and was getting very frustrated in class. Her movements werent great but instead it was quite compresed and closed. She hid her body alot and bended alot of her limbs inwards. She also had alot of similar poses throughout the classes. im not trying to blame the model but instead evaluate her and really understood her movement. This is a great chance to just tell that everyone has bad days and the success in that day maybe isnt to get a great product but too overcome the challenge and going back to what you know and understand :), So this week i decided to show some of my works that arent great and too show my progress on how i took my time to observe her and really get her anatomy down :)

Everything is gestured from 1-5 mins and the final few drawings are loner from 20 mins to 25mins
