This week we went back to the Chiller in Easton to draw figure skaters again. I felt that drawing them was a little easier this time as I remembered many of the poses that I saw from our last outing. However, I think I may have gotten a little too comfortable with this session. When I was flipping through my sketchbook I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to post for this week, but not because I had too many good ones. The last time, I remember thinking I had tons of sketches I wanted to post, but this time I found myself drawing many identical poses. It didn't help that the skaters mostly went away during the second half of class either. However, that could all just be in my head. I drew several pages worth of the figure skaters, but I would have liked to have had more time with them last class.
I started drawing the free skaters on the other rink, but many of those drawings ended up feeling awkward, because, well, most of the people couldn't skate. Overall, I think I ended up with a few nice sketches that were a bit more dynamic than last time. I discovered a really nice technique of drawing with a Copic Marker to get the gesture and then quickly drawing over the marker with a pen to get the form. I feel like the ones I did in that style ended up the most successful. I also experimented with other markers and brush pens during class to vary things up a bit.
The last one of these five reminds me of Korra lol. That being said, I think it's the strongest of the five. Bottom left is also a contender, but the anatomy and proportion expressed in the fifth is better completed.
ReplyDeleteNice presentation of the figures. I like the addition of color into the post. Good job with the figures as well, motion was captured well in bottom two I think.
