What's Been Going On

So, what have I learned so far this semester? Well, I have really learned the structure of the human body. My understanding of the human body was very limited to what I currently know. The best thing that I know is the proportions of the body but this is also one of the things that I want to improve on the most. If I could figure out the exact proportions of the human body and scale of muscles I think this would help me the most in design with how to relate products and environments around the human body. My speed has also increased with the gesture drawings. I feel I can better get what I am seeing down onto paper. Also, with every muscle that we study and every bone I start to learn more the better I understand the figure we are drawing. It's interesting to start to figure out how the muscles hold to the bones and determine the figures shape. Things I want to get better at are understanding the pelvis better and how to draw it within the figure at whatever angle they would be laying or standing at.

packers win against lions

this week went by swell. pulled an allnighter to get sanders done. struggling through the weekend to get everything done. need to quit trying to have fun and do more homework. this week in life drawing did more cross contour line drawings which i find hard to do. Trying to see all the little hidden lines on the body and relate them to the drawing when they don't have shadow is very difficult. I think that these contour drawings are what I am going to struggle with the most. Doing a longer pose was nece to do since it allows you to really get to see all the intricicies of the model. Things that we normally don't see when doing quick gesture drawings. Doing muscle and bone studies does have its advantages when coming back and relating to the model and being able to see how they relate with each other.
