My favourite model (china lady I must one day ask the name of...I'm scared my chinese will be embarrassing) was late :( So we practiced on what references we had first. I finally stopped being stubborn and broke out the conte. Pleasant results. I'm an eejit for being stubborn.
My shading still needs work however. Also the proportions. I messed those up enough to turn him a little feminine instead of masculine hooded guy, Assasin's Creed style.
Gestures! 2mins or so.
3-5 min.
Normally I suck at clothing gestures, but I thought today was decent. I think today my better clothing gestures are thanks to 1. my favourite model 2. big big big drapey cloth 3. enough sleep (really important). 4. I hate to admit it, but conte
I also think I'm learning to stop drawing every single stupid wrinkle.
This last unfinished one...has an embarrassingly drawn face. Hahaha. I spent some time printing out my pretty references and ended up with only enough time to do this (we were supposed to put clothes from our references on the model's pose).
I just love the way people dressed back in the old days. So I admit it must've been pretty tedious and all compared to pulling on shorts and a shirt, but everyone looks pretty and elegant and proper, all the time.
The on-loan DSLR I have only came with a wide-angle lens. Can you see any noticeable fish-eye distortion in these fig drawing photos?

My senior told me something interesting the other night: "In Year 1 you learn that sleep is important. In Year 2 you learn how to cope with sleep deprivation. In Year 3 you actually learn how to manage your freaking time."
