Life Drawing - Lesson 2

Continuous line drawing - Graphite Pencil (20 mins)

Continuous line drawings (3 - 5 minute poses) 

Tonal drawing (20 mins)

I've realized that when I draw with a continuous line, my drawings become less restricted and more fluid. It gives the life model more depth and tone. I'm going to use this technique more often!

Research - Design and Character

During character design we were each given an orange envelope which had a number inside. This number determined what character you would get. As well as their:

• Conceit/trait
• world/time period 
• filmic scene
• and animation action

The character I got was a Cowgirl. Her Conceit/trait is "quick to anger" and bugs. The world she needs to live in is a Wild West Town. The filmic scene needs to be "high noon" and the animation action is "Walking into A saloon."

Before I start designing anything, I have to do my research. This is so that I fully understand the character i'm creating. I've begun to explore historic cowgirls, artifacts and I've even included a small timeline:

Action Pose 5

Moom - Pose 5

This particular pose I found the most difficult, as positioning the leg in the air was hard to match to the pose on the left. I think there is definitely room for improvement!
