final Portrait

Last blog paragraph

In Life Drawing this semester I believe that I have improved on my drawing abilities. Starting this class I drew object on what I believe that I saw and mainly using outside lines trying to capture the assents. This class has really helped me drawing shapes, looking for landmarks on the body and with proportion. 

What this class has also helped me is working on variations of lines weights, because when I start I really only drew with same line weights and my drawings really did not look in perspective. I have learned to see the three plans of every object and trying to implement shading using the plans. Another thing that i have learned from this class is that the body is not all organic curves but there are strait lines. 

With the new techniques that I have learned I have been able to show distances in my drawings. For example in the bottoms final bold picture I use different line weight to give the illusion of perspective. 

In the class the manikin helped me a lot when it came to understanding muscles and how they look. Before the class I thought I new the human body alright, but when working with the manikin I was able to really see how many different varieties of muscles in different locations of the body. The manikin really helped me see how muscles attacked to the different joints. 

In the end I have learned a lot from this class and hope that it shows in my future drawings.

Toothbrush Design

This is a toothbrush that I designed for young professional.  The toothbrush has a comfortable ergonomic handle, and has a narrow head with a tilt on it for easy brushing.  

Lower Leg and Foot Clay Model

In the upper right picture you can see the extensors which run across the top of the foot and connect to each toe. In the bottom right side view you cans see the extensors. The large extensors can be seen attaching to the top of the tibia, as well as the tendons of the extensors that are running across the top of the toes. Peroneus tertius which attaches in the middle of the tibia and the tendon attaches to the outer side of the foot. In the bottom left side picture you can see the extensors slightly, but what the main muscle in this image is the gastrocnemius. The gastrocnemius or known as the calf muscles that attach from the bottom of the Femur, and the Achilles tendon runs down to the heal of the foot.

Gestures

This is a grouping of my gesture drawing which i started from the begging of the year till present. You can see which ones were my first by the single line gestures which i was trying to capture the different shapes of the body using the center axes. Then going longer into the class we started working on putting in the rib cage and some skin. Now what we are doing in our gestures is adding most of the muscles in the body and getting perspective right.

Drawing Class Insite

Life Drawing in a nut sell for me so far is learning what the different muscles and bones look like for when we are drawing models we can have an easier time understanding why different curves curve the way they do. We also really go in- depth into learning about perspective and how it really helps make drawings realistic and pop. I really enjoy working on perspective and different shading skills to make muscles and different curves on the human body pop in the daily model drawings. 

When thinking about other things that i want to work on or getting better at in the nezt few weeks of the semester left would be things like better drawings skills. I can draw the models prety good, but I want to be able to look at my drawings at the end of the class and be like wow that really dose look like him/ hers body. Another thing that I want to work on would be finding the hard spots of the human body and drawing it well.
