Let's work inside on this nice day!

Mon-Wed Long Drawing

As I sit inside on this nice day doing all of my work that is due this week I thought to myself, oh crap I have to do my blog. Not really in the mindset to write this so I am going to make it quick, and it might not make a whole lot of sense....sorry if this happens. This week we worked on the head more. We worked on a two day drawing of the head as we had both models in the room. It was a good experience drawing a model rather than just getting a partner to draw from because there was more time involved and I didn't have to worry about taking my time and making the other person hold their face for too long. I really like the long drawings because it really allows me to take my time and try to get the forms to look correct. On Monday since I knew it was a two day drawing, I worked really slow to the point where I almost wish I had another day after Wednesday. It looked "alright" but no way was I happy with it. I had trouble with the mouth and had erased it a thousand times (literally) and still could not get the likeness of the model. I think it looks too feminine. If this was a photograph I was working from then It would be a lot easier, but there is something about seeing 3d real space that makes it so much more difficult. We also got assigned our self-portrait final drawing this week. Thank god it isn't due until Friday because I think I would have a brain aneurysm if it was due before that. I am trying to organize my time some what so I decided it would be best to start it right away so I did. I already have a good foundation but my damn mouth is a problem again. Once I fix that I think it will look more like me. Good bye for now.
