Lesson 5: Applying Construction to Animals
9:27 AM, Sunday September 27th 2020
Couple notes:
-
Not a fan of the heads I did, I'll do more while waiting for your feedback (and maybe add them at the end)
-
I tried to apply what you said last time, that I tended to use the original shapes as just guidelines but not as real forms that I keep, but I don't feel super confident about it, sometimes I added forms on both sides of the original form, and it feels like I'm disregarding the original form. This is notable for the legs, I don't know if I added too much form on some of them as the original sausage is completely hidden sometimes.
-
Side-note about last time: I only used one pen, but I wasn't using the recommended one, as I didn't have any left, and I didn't want to break lockdown or order non-vital stuff, and I thought it was close enough. But indeed, I didn't realize it could go much thinner than the .5 you recommended, this time I exclusively used those.
-
Actual question I should have asked before lesson 3 tbh, when you say "do X pages of Y", I feel like I'm phoning it in by doing only one Y per page, but on the other hand it's better to work big, and you did say not to do more than the required pages, so for the future homework, is it best to stick to one subject per page, as big as possible (missed the mark on that a couple times here), or do 2-3 subjects per page? or maybe one big and fill the rest of the page with smaller ones?
Thanks in general for your feedback, I cannot even begin to express how good it is and how much my whole way of thinking about how I draw changes every time.
