Can it really be week 3?

Hello again!

Wow, can it really be the end of week 3 already? This is also an exciting thought though since this means that there is also a great deal of progression that is coming along. In life drawing this week we continued to build upon our knowledge of the body with our gesture drawings, contour drawings, as well as learning about the muscles through our sculptures.

Contour Drawing

Gesture Drawing
including the ribcage

I am still learning so much from this class and i can certainly see the progressions from each week but, i still have a long ways to go in my studies of the body. In the drawing aspect of this weeks class we brought into play the rib cage. In our drawings the rib cages is the egg like shape that is found towards the upper area of the vertebrate by the neck. We also worked on more contour drawings which i felt went considerably better this time. I am starting to become more aware of how these kinds of drawings work and i can't wait to see how they progress with the semester. In general i think having the new knowledge of the ribcage this week has helped to develop the idea of space in all of the drawings this week.

Eduardo's new Muscles!

Abs!

Then there is Eduardo. This week he is starting to look more and more human like. Our homework from the week had us studying over the muscles in the abs, glutes, and hips. As the modeling part of our class continues i am discovering that sometimes it is difficult for me to really grasp what the muscles look like. However when I finally get it right it is highly rewarding and i find it to be another tool that will really tie into visualizing what I also see on the outside of the body.

Well i guess that was week 3,
