Hey I'm back! It's been quite a long time, but I've started school again and finally have some new artwork to show! These first few drawings show the process I am taking to develop my first project for my Drawing II class. I have to draw the same toy animal three different ways to create a good composition. My teacher is basically having us create our own studies in the same style as studies done by the masters like Da Vinci and Michaelangelo.
The first step is thumbnails, which help to quickly establish a good composition:
Next is a practice drawing of our toy. The goal was to focus on getting the right proportions and angles, and making sure everything on the animal lined up right:
After that we had to pick our best thumbnail and do several comps. This step is to establish where the focal point will be in the final drawing and how it is going to be emphasized:
That's most of the work I had to do before even getting to the final drawing. A new post about that will be up by mid-week the latest, so make sure to keep checking back!
