This Week in Review (4/26-04/28)

This week, we focused on the skull. I found this very interesting because prior to this, I thought the skull was one single bone connected to the jaw. In reality, it is more complex and you can see the different bones when you look closely enough. Drawing the skull is a different experience all together. I enjoyed it, due to the fact that there wasn't flesh on the skull and that made it easier to draw.

This week, we started focusing on hands. At first, I thought it would be easier to draw the hand by itself, but I have found that it is even harder to draw than the torso. When drawing the figure, I am used to drawing the rib cage and using the pelvic points as a road map, but I am unable to find these helpful locations on the hand. As instructed, I now focus on the top and side planes of the hand as rectangles of which the thumb attaches. Another helpful thing that I am starting to do, is representing the fingers by their bone positions and adding mass to them.

This week, Wednesday especially, I felt like I made a great deal of progress. I chose a pretty difficult angle to draw from because there was a large amount of overlapping. The pelvic area overlapped the egg shaped rib cage and it was foreshortened drastically. I am pleased with this drawing and I am on my way towards getting proper proportions.
