Model Drawing 2, Week 10

Ten 2-minute Gesture Drawings for warm-ups.

We began working with casual, sporty, "slouchy" poses for our active-wear.  The look for females is clean and fresh, with hair tied  back into a tight ponytail.

FOUR 7-minute figure studies:
Student work:

Followed by THREE 7-minute figure studies:

 We ended the first 3 hour set with ONE 5-minute head study, and ONE 5-minute feet study.
Student work:

I then demonstrated drawing a coat and trousers on a slouching/casual figure.  Note the difference in the direction of the ribcage.

Also note how I've edited the folds, and how the stripes in the trousers wrap along all of the undulations in the fabric.

TWO 10-minute studies, coat and trousers.  Casual poses.
Student work:

Next I demonstrated Activewear, the styling being inspired by 70's/80's Adidas, Nikes, Speedo, Y-3, Yohji Yamamoto.  The demo was in pastel, though I prefer colored pencil for cleanliness.  Both are acceptable.

Again, note the casual pose of the figure.  It's youthful, and full of attitude/mood.

THREE 20-minute fully rendered figures in activewear.
