Figure Studies 030816

Here are the chosen drawings from this week…..Image 1: Chosen for the diversity in graphics, the supporting weight along the back of the figure showing the stress of the muscles in this pose, and the space created on the page from front to back.

Image 2: Chosen for it's graphics and the idea that an underlying graphic can describe so much. When the addition of the pen graphic is interjected the space that the figure encompasses begins to come to life…..

Image 3: Chosen for the fact that it's the same pose as the first one but this image is built up in a more structural and graphic way describing the stress of the muscles in the body differently. I also really like the graphics in the face and the way that the toes are drawn on the forawrd foot..

Image 4: Chosen for the thought process behind this image. The exercise that was used to create this image is "Two hands at the same time". I found while drawing this image there was a better connection to the overall rythyms of the body giving it a very organic feeling. You can see by the way that I began to develop the forward foot that with some extra time, the weight and believabilty of the form would really begin to show.

Image 5: Chosen for many reasons……..Color, structure, space, form, weight, design, the layering of materials……I guess I'm just fond of this image in general. It has a lot of the things that I'm after right now as listed above. I feel I captured the power and the weight of the form well in this image. I'm also fond of how the different graphics, ie: line, wash, and paint all seem to harmonize in this image…..
