Shadow Shapes

In my Ani 112a class we are now starting to work on shadow shapes! I'm really excited about this because I always wanted to be more confident in pen/marker and shadow shapes is one step to inking! This was our homework assignment and I was really trying to observe the shapes of the shadows rather than trying to draw my face. The method of squinting helped A LOT considering I only had black and white to work with. Squinting helped me eliminate all the other values inbetween. The blackness in the picture is my scanner I am just too lazy to crop it sooooooooooo ENJOY!

YAY More Figure drawing!! HAHA! I fel super confident now in my Figure drawing, HOWEVER I feel like I need to try and make my gestures more CLEAN I think Thursday I might try and use a different medium other than pen? We shall see... Put on another note I have been focusing on more construction! Had some help from my good friend Jonathan Chu about construction! I'm getting there!!

Another batch of Figure Drawings!! Now a bunch of these are gestures only because for my ANI 55 class our portfolio is due and we were supposed to turn in just the gesture/wire drawing. So I took a shot and there were only a couple I liked -.- as you can see... This day was a lot better than mondays, soooo I am proud of that! Anyway tomorrow night I promise I will have more than just gestures cause I feel like its getting a bit repetitive.... last 20 posts are pretty much figure drawings haha! ENJOY!
