Life drawing and Reflective statement

-


I have really enjoyed life drawing this year and it is something that I ultimately believe has helped me to develop and widen my work and abilities as an artist. I have learnt to not look at the human body as a whole, but rather areas of light, shade and shapes, and that this breaking down can aid our understanding of how the body works. I intent to continue taking life classes over the summer in the hope that this will continue to improve my drawings of characters and aid my animation.

I have to say I'm both a little disappointed in myself and feeling better than I did in the last project. Weird huh? Basically, for this first stage I have focused a lot on research, and fully developing my concept before properly diving into drawing it. This has given me a much clearer path than I found myself on in the Invisible Cities project, but has meant that I have ultimately produced fewer thumbnails than I would have liked. I felt like this additional research was necessary to ensure that I wasn't chasing my own tail for a number of days which is how Invisible cities felt at times. So, at this point, although I have less thumbnails right now (more will be uploaded tomorrow), I feel like I am in a much stronger position that I was after the OGR before.
