Drawing
- Concerns
- How the head and jaw overlaps with the neck to connect to the torso.
- How the breasts attach to and hang from the torso.
- Proportions and perspective of the head and jaw and breasts.
- I think it’s interesting to think of figure drawing as a composition of boxes. Consider the proportions and perspectives of the boxes. How the boxes overlap and connect. The lighting of the boxes. Intentional curves and distortions.
- Prerequisite is figure drawing.
- Anatomy studies.
- How clothes wrap and drape from the body.
- Stages
- Composition exploration (e.g., thumbnailing).
- Rough.
- Shape refinement.
- Value and color.
- Rendering (e.g., details, line, edge, etc.).
- For each stage
- Time limited.
- Before each stage except exploration
- Drawing study.
- After the last stage
- Judge each stage in relation to the whole.
- Identify the weakest stage.
- Bonus improvement stage.
- Pacing
- Try one stage per day.
- Comments
- The difficulty of each stage depends on the project. Composition has the greatest variance in difficulty.
- I should focus on building from reference. It’s difficult to apply many transformations simultaneously so start from one, then a few, and build build build. Eventually, acquiring and combining transformations will be a simple thing.
- The goal is to create a drawing where there are aspects that are more appealing to me than the corresponding aspects in the reference.
