Lesson 5: Applying Construction to Animals
4:39 PM, Tuesday December 22nd 2020
Hello,
first of all, sorry for the long text again. This lesson was important to me, so i have a lot of questions. if it is way to much, please just skip things. i will do it at least 2 more times... (not as long as this! i promise!!)
i have another 2 links this time with a view thoughts and a lot of trash. to make it clearer, i sorteted it. birds/horses/deers/lions/dogs/elefants/andso on. the more worthy exercises are at the beginning pf the theme. there is a lot of trash, but i thought you might want to see some of this also...
i've tried to count them by adding a tag to the imagedescription like "birds1"
the dogs start again in the 3th link, because i could'nt figure out how to delete them with my phone from the already postet full post.
questions:
-
i noticed, that i struggled with the sausagemethod. obveously i like edges and i tend to loose "seeing the planes, when i start with a sausage. I think i understand that the sausage is kind of an envelope, where the part of the body is packed in. however i dont know, why organic forms are so hard to see in "the window" (this analogy helped me SO much with the box and cylinders... but not here. It feelslike closing it)
-
i know, you said, we should'nt draw pics with too mich gesture. however i noticed, that, with movement or not, it helped me to understand the forms much better by analyzing how the specific animal moves and even a bit of the anatomy... i always tried to apply the things i've learned here so far. The question has to do with the sausage. for instance the backlegs often tent to get thinner down to the knee... i did a rhino and i totaly lose proportion. how can i get better at placing sausages in the right proportions?
-
i got obessed with this wedgeform, as i could aply it to so much animals (the dog is more boxy, i think). sometimes i didn't use the craniumball. can i go with this wedge? Ad said befor, "boxy" shapes helped me so much to "open the window"? Or a bad idea
-
I fight with the ripcage, as it changes its form so often. its hard for me to see its size and how its moving. its hard to find boxy shapes for it. i feel this is connected to my inability of the seeing the sausages... especially in the scapular region on cats and dogs...
-
My boxyshapeform aproach seems to be pretty robotic. do you think, that i should be carefull with this?
