Ha so now I cant modify it. Now I think my clavicles are still too long on the right. I forgot to measure that part!

@danasmith Thanks ^^

@zhisu  thanks! will do!

Day 10; scapula I think my rendering skill might have improved. 😀

day 10. The clavicles. So the biggest lesson today, is to make sure the shape is correct before rendering. See that I went back and corrected the shape, and I still don’t think it is 100% accurate. So the rendering became muddy.

 

Uhhhh anatomy is hard.

Day 9:

on the left: another angle of the ribcage. I got a new can of pencil!!!Lol oh man I do think 3B is much easier to control than 6B.

Tomorrow I’ll do some wrapping up studies of the torso and the ribcage. Yay.

[Peihong Jiang]

I really like the simplicity of the contour line in your figure drawing!

[Peihong Jiang]

Also me critic myself: (1) next make a bigger drawing (yesterday was much easier to render b/c the drawing is 2x in size), group the ribs and the gaps’ value more tightly in the bottom left region, use a sharper and harder pencil, leave the shallow halftone out, because it is really hard to lift anything out of this toned paper :p (2) the turning of the ribs towards the backplane is almost lost on my drawing.  That’s the biggest shape mistake.

till next time!

Thanks Joshua! I’ll draw some more pelvis tomorrow.

 

Can’t believe it is day 8 already. Have a meeting tomorrow so I’m in a rush today. (Rendering is challenging as usual). but I still learned the relative positions of the ribs front vs back.

[Peihong Jiang]

That’s a lovely painting! 💐

[Peihong Jiang]

 

take two. The left side was missing a chunk of darker value.

Day 7:

I used a 6B pencil, now the only pencil I have at home. Hopefully Amazon gets my pencil delivered on Wednesday.

 

Also dug out my drawing board 😀 And I learned that my sketchbook has no teeth and does not hold graphite well. but since I’ll move in a couple of month, I will not buy more art supplies so just, you know, deal with it.

I like the line art!!! Very organic and expressive

@josselinejeria I skipped the earlier part of the course b/c in my childhood I received some basic training in drawing sight-size geometry casts and objects the Russian style (I lived in China when I was a kid until I moved to US for higher ed). Maybe I should go back to that at some point. And I agree with you that the homework assignment is a lot. (And I don’t get to do the fun, creative stuff) But I think mileage really matters!

I’ll write this down to remind myself: I want to be creative and draw/paint what’s in my head. But then usually it doesn’t look like the way I want them to look like. I think it is a technique issue, and there’s no other way than practicing the fundamentals and do some studies day after day.

Usually on social media: nobody ever looks at fundamental studies. The encouragement and construct crit I received from the forum is really really helpful. <3

day 6

 

The male counterpart of yesterday’s copy. I used the pink circle to point out the important bumps in photoshop.

 

Then I started the ribcage assignment from the Russian Drawing course. I’ll render it tomorrow.

 

I find doing fundamentals requires a tremendous amount of, emm, motivation and self-discipline? But I have learned a lot! I started to understand where those bump comes from now.

 

 

 

 

Here’s something fun but not what I’m supposed to do :P.  A texture cube I painted in photoshop.

Day 5

Today I’m a bit tired to start a fully rendered ribcage, I did watch the demo and maybe I’ll do it tomorrow. So I took it easy and copied some drawings from Morpho.

I’m not trying to get everything super accurate in its form but I learned that the female pelvis is wider than the male one. And measured their proportions of height relative to width. Then a abstracted volume of the pelvis, together with a demo of how pelvis fits underneath the flesh. I found it very helpful.

[Peihong Jiang]

ohhhh I like the colors!

Speaking of perspective and ellipse, some question:

From the onion, I assume that I’m looking down at the scene, but the cap of the bottle seem to have a longer minor axis than its bottom? Which makes it looking counterintuitive to me. But I’m not a master in perspective in any sense. 🙂 Welcome to correct me!
