Hey, Panos
here!
The initial
thought was to publish one more figure working post and then move into a different
subject. Turns out I had a lot of material to clog into one post, so I broke it
down into two parts. Today is part 1; next week will be part 2.
Last week I
talked a bit about the female form, you can check it out here: http://panoskamoulakos.blogspot.gr/2013/01/the-female-form.html
I have been searching various sources to practice drawing anatomy, movement, facial expressions
and emotions. I wanted to take my figure working further and work from more
elaborate poses.
Life
drawing is especially effective for honing your anatomy skills and your perception.
It pushes you to think in patterns and fill in blanks to a subconscious level. I
have had life drawing lessons during my time as a student at Loughborough
University. The experience working directly from a live model is unparalleled.
There is
one thing missing though.
Did you
guess it? I thought you would!
Model is restricted to pose
the entire time, it is impossible for him or her to act in movement. The human
body is capable of stretch and move and act into a thousand different ways to a
thousand different angles. The model in a life drawing class is restricted to a number
of positions (crouching, standing, leaning, laying, etc.). Unfortunately no one
is fast enough to draw a model jumping or running in a life drawing session (if
you can I envy you).
Photographs
achieve snapshots of motion (jumping, running, tumbling, fighting, etc.) that
somebody can work from in order to practice further. The gallery bellow is from
a number of sources. Some of those are Olympic Games 2004, UFC, Undisputed 3 movie and various fitness magazines.
Thanks for being
here once again! I appreciate it!
You be good
now! Until next week!
Panos.
