As of late, I mentioned that I have been practicing at home the art of drawing a body. while it does in fact seem like I'm getting better, I don't think that its to my liking. I'm going to try my best with lines, as I want some little detail such as folds in clothing. It is a contour after all. What I'm mainly going for here is balance. I want the right balance of color and lines. I can't really say much about it though as i have barely started the project. I mean there's always a possibility I'll change my mind of the main goal half way though.
Oh the hand, how difficult you are for all. Maybe drawing a Two-dimensional hand at its simplest form isn't so hard, but trying to get a three-dimensional item into a 2D drawing so that it looks 3D is difficult. I can't say I was much for hands and feel and hair in general but hot damn are hands just difficult. While trying to preserve my hand in the 1st project(second photo) without looking my eyes were moving faster than my eyes and I tried to follow it as best I can. I didn't do so bad at first but when I tried to complete the details, my drawing lost it's recognizable shape. The second assignment we traced our hand with that transparent sheet. Obviously easy, but the hard part was translating it to a peace of paper. I drew guides to help me by marking the places that crossed the line. Sadly, it didn't help because I ended up drawing it way bigger than the original drawing. Non the less this project helped me understand the way to perceive 3D things to translate it to 2D.Pre-tests only showed how much I couldn't draw. I always tried practicing with the human body but I am terrible without a scale or a guide of some sort to help me out. I tried to draw with out the model to test my abilities from memory. Oh boy, was I disappointed with the end result, But I think it was only natural to hate these. I'm more of a slow drawer and I admit that I went a little too fast for this trying to impress I myself. As for being in R-mode, I've always been doing it. I know sometimes I don't get proportions right but I have been doing this R-mode thing subconsciously. It's only the beginning of the year and I really hope to improve later on.
