Exercise 02_Homework With Dancing

A later homework post for Cafe Sketch.

No scanner this weekend and class.

Here it is... I'm such a terrible personne.

 

Day 04_Behind the Dates

I've been having teeth problems and it has put me behind on my post and dates.
So, just to say, these sketches are from September 16.
I've yet to put my missed class make-ups up. They shall come in a future post.

Day 03_The Nude and My Death

We had a nude model to draw from in our most recent class.

I'd have to say, this guy was in general, quite fun to draw. 

He had good poses and an interesting body shape.

In conjunction with my basic synopsis of the pictures yet to come,

this week has been utterly terrible. I've been fighting a cold that seems to just

get worse and worse.  I would of had more than my 52 gestures, but had to leave early 

because of breathingproblems. I'm really just want this cold to go away so I can 

be back to normal.When I am doing better, I will post some sketches I did from 

YouTube videosto make up for what I had missed when leaving class early.

Ready to actually see the gestures? 

I shall quite speaking, and let you progress through the post.

Exercise 01_The First Exercise

This week has not been a good week.

First, my carpal tunnel flared up and then I get sick.

The all-up-in-the-head sick.

Eugh....

Well, this is the first homework exercise for my Cafe Sketch class.

The prompt was:

"For your first exercise outside of our normal drawing sessions, please do the following:

-Find three (3) classic European drawings or paintings online from between the sixteenth (16^th ) and nineteenth (19^th ) Centuries, with each painting containing no fewer than five (5) figures.-Lean towards more dynamic compositions –i.e., ones that have a variety of poses, depth, and employ weight shift and/or foreshortening.-Recreate each painting into a line drawing on a single page in your sketchbook, converting the human forms into primitives (spheres, elliptical solids, cylinders, cubes, rectilinear solids, cones). 

Concentrate on drawing volumes. Just as in class, start lightly, gradually working darker with more confident marks. You may make the arms and legs cylindrical or rectilinear solids, while the torso and waist can be cube-like."

So, whether I like these or not, ici.
