Life Drawing Week 2

2009-01-19T12:31:00.000-08:00

Life drawing - week 2 (17/1/09)

1.

I was adding my Week 1 sketch, so i thought might as well do the 2nd one too! So woopie! This time i'm No.1!!! :P (Bleh i'm being childish).

Anyway, this time feels easier than the 1st try, plus we are using the grid frame thingie, which is a great help. Although for some reason, i drew Edmond too big. Plus I should have take the pic right from the begining instead of after i finish drawing cos some of the ppl moved away, or changed positions. (i.e. Joe & fei yan was sitting much more straight at the begining...)

Here comes my 2nd piece of life sketch in class...a bit blur and light, should use a darker pencil i think, and still the same problem with line weight... wanted to show the "packness" of our class, so i chose this angle... lih ting was a bit too big on my drawing, and the head slightly above was supposed to be ivan giving advise... it's easier with the grids and closing-1-eye technique...hope to improve next time...comments and advise are most welcome =)

Life drawing week 1

Life drawing - week 1 (9/1/09)

1.

um. I would say I should have drawn out the background or the environment first, then only start with the figures, to measure the depth. Also, the size of each figure in the frame must be controlled to create depth, near objects bigger, further objects smaller(which i failed to do :P). I used thick dark strokes for nearer objects and light thin strokes for further objects to further elaborate the depth of the objects.

muahahha!! I'm 2nd to post =p. here is my life sketch =).My apologies for not having picture reference. Everyone gathered in the center when I was about to take the picture. Shall take it fast next time. I drew the figures first followed by the chairs then the background. I had difficulty drawing perspective as you can see it above. Can't see much of the depthness of the piece especially the background. I've darken the lines for near objects/figures to differentiate it from far objects. I should have sketch out everything then add details later. Oh well....

tadaa ! here's my distorted life drawing mwehehehe. The reference is sort of different from what i draw. Neh, Jonathan la, pose here pose there ;p hahaha nah lah. i'm still lousy at catching the overall outlines quick, and also my ratio for proportions. See, i can't even draw the walls properly -..- So, WEE ! bad wall, bad example ! lols i'll try to improve soon !

Ejinnnnnnnn

here comes my first week punyer life sketch in class...

initially it was jonathon sitting on the left...and couldn't capture se lin in my 1st photo taking...

i started placing all the figures from near to far with H pencil, just to get the placement and size more accurate...then drew with 2B pencil adding in a bit more details starting from the right........

was drawing drawing then realize my view point on the paper and what i was actually looking at lari here a bit lari there a bit...end up erm....lari lor....=.="

1 more thing i think i should improve on is my line weight...meaning thickness and thinness in lines, to show what is upfront and further away, and emphasize on some important features in a drawing, so the drawing doesn't look as flat...gotta learn more from you all ^-^

i think that's all for this...happy new year~ =)

halo ladies and gentlemen of AD085-1.

welcome to ad-illustration.blogspot.com
I named this blog ad-illustration so that in the future (even after having figures III), we could continue using this blog.

I think creating this blog is a great idea, thx to our figures III lecturer, Darren.

So i have briefly written down the concept of this blog.
if there is anything wrong or to there is something add, we can discuss about it.

ok.

Objective:
1. To share our work, experience.
2. To receive as many feedbacks/comments/critiques so that we can improve ourselves.
3. To gain publicity. To show that we can do it! Who knows tomorrow we'll get multi million dollar project through this blog? heh
4. To impress our competitors(?) (by posting in awesome works) :D

Students of AD085-1, what to do?:
1. You can post in ur weekly life sketch, figure drawings, inspiring artworks/articles on drawings, or whatever shit u think can benefit the class.
I have came out with a format for u guys to follow.

-Post starts-
(date)
(assignment title)
(photo reference)
(drawing)
(artist comment)
(sign)

take a look at our senior's blog - http://ad081-1.blogspot.com/
learn how they upload their work and stuff.
(we must be better than them!) :D

2. Try to help each other by giving suggestions or pointing out mistake.
People who receive negative but constructive comments, just eat it and try to improve urself.

Rules:
1. Try to fit everything related into ONE post.
for example, life sketch for week2, 1 post.
figure drawings for week2, 1 post.
2. Give honest opinion in a positive + constructive manner.
3. Do not simply edit other's work/writings.
4. (to be added when something goes wrong :D)

--
Header
what u guys think about the header? just some simple design I came off with my free time. heh..
If anybody interested in designing a blog header with Darren's photo..
here it is..

hahaa curi curi ambil using my camera phone :D
--

Besides that I also added a blog for our class general use - http://ad085-1.blogspot.com/
(ignore the blog title) -.-

Ohya! dont forget to link ur blog or website at the sidebar! If you don't mind! hehe

cya guys in class then. anything just discuss in class la.. dont be shy to come up to me and give suggestions ok! :d
