(repost) Union Centre

Quite a few times I ended up redrafting some of the figures that did not move. Other times I just took glances and drew what I could remember. I'm trying to use looser movements then darkening up lines later, however I suppose simply getting the gesture would be far more appropriate.

Relating to posts: I seem to be having some amount of problems posting.. I leave the computer to allow it time to post and I end up coming back to it having an odd message about "Edits" even when i use the "new post" tab.  Trying to figure out why posts are working sometimes and why they're failing at other times.

Having issues:

Conflicting edits

There was more than one attempt to edit this resource at the same time. This may have been because you double clicked on a link or a button or because someone else is also editing this blog or post.

Unsure why I keep getting this when I try posting, but I'll repost yesterday's work again to see if it works this time.

Back to Ink

I went around and asked a few people how they did their gesture sketches and came up with many different answers. One of them said "you did it wrong if you pickedup the pen." Many people said to start with the spine and block out the chest.  I tried a lot of different things, ended up with a few nice gestures that I was able to darken up lines in to give a definite idea of the figure..

Also I figured out that it seems that I was using an old link instead of using "new post" apparently that caused wednesday's post to overright the second class's day.

I just found out something had prevented me from posting this the first time arround. I have no idea why it didn't make it onto the page, but I'm posting it now.
(edit, looking through the north market posts, I seemed to have accidentally edited an old post on wednesday, http://cafedoodle.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-2.html

I am not sure what happened or what the original post was however..

Started off a little rough and started gaining a bit momentum and tried to keep all drawings under about 5-10 minutes. However drawing the hands became a bit difficult because of how small they were and the "ending the gesture" seemed to have occured a few times. However, I think I'm getting better at doing gesture poses and needing to rely less on "guides"

Freeday IV

Drawing alot of people on the streets today, trying to focus more on drawing details without spending too much time, I started drawing faces and more detailed hair.  However today was once again raining and it limited where exactly I could draw.  Trying to emphasis lines more.

Magical Swordwoman Kirsten VS Baby's First Grimm Reaper

I got a little to into drawing the gestures of things I ended up with less "finished" images.  I had two versions of each pose, but the others were not shown because they were very much simply "noodly monsters".

HW #2 Foreshortening

 

Attempting to stay within the timeframe (under 15 minutes) I feel I may have pushed a little at lightly shading far too much (seeing how none of it even seems to show up post-scanning). However I do feel that I'm getting a better grasp at quickly pinning down form. I wanted to do more with the background, but there was very little background to these figures.

Today I tried more or less drawing from memory even though I did have a figure to go back to in some cases (while some people were no where to be found once I looked up from the paper). I focused more on "Shading" shadows rather than shading the colors of someones shirt or shoes, focusing a bit more on weight and lighting (or at least attempted to).  I realized that my has completely bleached out subtle shading, will have to figure out how to counter that in the future.

LOST DAY!

I didn't receive any instructions where to go so I just wandered again.  Of course as it as explained to me "it got complicated"   Of course, I just drew people I hung around with again.
