This week in Computer Arts Practice we did "Live Drawing"
Spending a maximum of 4 minutes on each drawing we drew passers by trying to capture a sense of personality and movement.
I reverted back to my loose and scribbly drawing style for this task, something i find very useful for quickly marking down peoples shapes and movements, though it does look messy and unprofessional .
The lady with the pram at the top right looked like she was pushing around a stack of bricks with the way she was leaning, but I'm not sure if i captured it successfully.
The bottom right pair on this page were one of my favourite drawings of the day, i liked the line-work and the loose expression of movement in the legs.
I thought this page was a success, i started to draw them more as caricatures, which i think helped me to emphasise movement and the character i was giving these passers by.
By this point the caricatures had degraded into bad drawing, which is a shame, because the walking stick man was one of the most interesting people i tried to draw.
I liked this one of a woman who looked very fed up with her boyfriend, though i think i got the legs in the wrong pose for her movement making her look unbalanced.
As i'm hoping to specialise into creature design and the 3D modelling of creatures and characters, the skill of accurately drawing different poses and emotions will be important to the design of the characters ill be working on.
This is definitely a lesson i had fun doing, i enjoy drawing people and the quick loose style suits me very well, and i think that a few of my drawings were good examples of quick character sketching.
However i think i need to put more time into drawing faces and expressions as it was a major weak point in my drawing all throughout university. I also think i need to work on my line work to lend more professionalism to my sketches
