Isabella’s 100-Day Art Challenge: Humans

[Christopher]

Hi Isabella,

I for my part was also quite excited about the new additions to the Russian academic course. For me they are like a more forgiving gap closer in between the fundamentals and the anatomical lectures.

I also really like your overlays, this workshop seems to be interesting.

I’m curious to see how the workshop will influence your work 👋

Hi Marcolino,

Thank you for your comments on my skeletal drawings. They were made only based on imagination, and what you pointed really helped me contrast what I had on my mind to how the skeleton actually is and see the parts I got wrong.
Along with the cast drawings I’m doing, I plan to work more on the skeletal structure, drawing over photos and paintings, using references and knowledge from lessons on the subject.

Hi Cristopher,

I agree with you about the Russian academic course; the addition made a more comfortable progression between the lectures. It improved what was already an amazing course!
As for the workshop, it’s really nice. They put lots of emphasis on repetition and draw overs. I particularly liked the assignment of drawing a simplified skeleton over paintings and photos.
I hope it benefits my work, especially regarding mileage and understanding the structure in the forms.

Hola Isabella, nice plane indication. Reminds me of Loomis’ page from his Figure Drawing book. Jesus’ knee on the right could be simplified a bit more. Try not to mix curves too much if you’re doing a strict plane study. Cool!

[Isabella Borges]

Hi Marcolino, thanks for your comments! I’ll keep that in mind for future plane studies.
Those studies were from the workshop I participated in; the teacher references lots of Loomis’ works. I’m finding it very interesting to see different approaches to figure drawing.

Day 70

I’m revisiting some basic concepts for proportions of the human body from I class I took years ago. Tomorrow it will be bone structure based on these schemes.
