Process of working with photo nudes and establishing 3 dimensions.

Assignment: pick 5 figures from the last blog post and draw 5 drawings using these steps and everything we spoke about so far this semester. If shading, use only 1 tone and black and white.

start with beans and tubes building the mannequin off your gesture. remember the draw over, under and around the forms. 
It can help to define the space the drawing fits in using marks on the page to indicate "live drawing area"

Once gesture is in, start builsing up tube forms...break forms into sectioned tubes to figure out foreshortening

Break down head and hands and other details into basic shapes. fingers, toes, feet etc.

build up contour lines into more final lines, using line weight to indicate shadows, where objects meet, fall into darkness and move into foreground

use a single tone to indicate value. try to restrict values to 3, black,white and midtone grey. Think of shadows as shapes that connect forms of the body.

Figure in the picture plane, foreshortening and perspective.

Study the following pages, we will go voer them in class and try to bring this to the drawings from class.

Read through the above pdf and look over these drawings. for this coming week I'd like to see you produce 10 pages in your sketchbook  of feet from reference with three or more drawings per page. I would draw a few reproductions from the drawing so feet below, draw from the photos of feet below that and from the painted feet as well to give yourself practice with different angles and positions. Try to pay attention to structure and angle and how the foot connects to the leg. In the same way the hand is an extension of the arm, the foot extends from the leg. Due October 21st

look carefully at these and reproduce some angles from below
