Ten weeks in the quarter, one reproduction per week...and I only have eight reproductions here.
Normally, I wouldn't post this on this blog, but the thing is, we're supposed to turn in our sketchbooks with the reproductions and printouts of the works we reproduced.
My family's printers lack the ink with which to print, and thus, I sought this as an alternative.
So the post layout is simple: The original work is followed by my reproduction.
That thigh on the right is...too big? It got cut off of the page, at any rate.
Again, the right thigh is a problem?
The face.
...The neck?
This was an interesting challenge, using ink washes.
It was about this time that I realized my pencil is, once again, my invaluable partner, as is hatching.
Skimped on the background here, but this was surprisingly fun to redraw. Ink and brush, for this one.
And this one...was very taxing to finish.
I'm not really sure if I should count these toward my 365 drawing goal.
...anyone? I'll listen to any comments posted, whether on here or on facebook, or whatever.
Fuck, I clicked a pic and lost my comment. DX why am I stupid
ReplyDeleteAre these in chronological order? If so I can see the improvement. Your general sense of proportion is there, what needs tweaking now is making sure the angles match and that you keep reassessing lenght vs width. My favorites are the last two. Even tho I really like Gustav Klimt. They are the most accurate. I would keep drawing from the figure tho, a lot. It will help you in the long run. Especially when transfering that sense of form in your hatchwork figures into more contour line figures.
If proper figure drawings count toward your 365, these also count: Whether you're drawing from a model or drawing from another drawing, both are still exercises in seeing and reproducing.
