So here are last week's drawing class results. I finally got a few hours of time to myself. In between battling the LAPD, I like to post drawings. The instructor worked with me on this first one, and I added the gist of his notes with my tablet here. Pretty good stuff. All of these are between three and five minute sketches, with a batch of quick one-sies at the end, which I switched to a drafting pencil for. No particular reason. One thing I am getting bored with is the posing. I feel like there are only so many poses the models tend to go with. I'd like to see some creative acting, but... they're already up there naked as the day they were born, so I can't complain too much.
By connecting the neck to the head, he means to draw through the form. In this case there was hair hanging over her neck, so I didn't bother to draw it. This is good cartooning advice, as well. You have to visualize as 3D shapes in 2D space, otherwise you end up ignorant to what the form is actually doing and you'll be unable to convincingly move it. And it's not about making a pretty drawing, it's about understanding what is happening and representing that on paper. That is one piece of advice I find consistent through life-drawing instructors.
