Life Drawing-FS105

Semester 2

Final Grade: A

***WARNING***
This course dealt with basic anatomy, proportions, volume, value and general figure structure. Therefore, we used live, nude models in order to gain our general perspective.
If you would prefer to not view stetches, drawings, or rough outlines of nude models please do not scroll down.
I would understand - it was hard for me, as well.

Content includes:
4 Assignments, comprehesive pieces for the class.
1 Final Book Portfolio, as part of our final.
Final sketchbook selections.
Midway sketchbook selections.
Beginning sketchbook selections.
Samples of practice pieces from lessons in class, outlining the 5 step process taught in class.

Step 2: Landmarks


FRONT:
Pit of the neck
Nipples
Navel
Bottom of Groin

BACK:
7th cervical vertebrae
Spine of scapula
Spine
Sacral Triangle

To make sure we have the right proportions in our figures we also learn about finding landmarks. All figures have the same 8 landmarks that we use to make sure we are following the correct 'roadmap' in building our figures.
This is especially important with 'forshortening.' This is when the figure comes towards you and the artist can't rely on size and distancing for accurate proportions. See Dani below for a good example of forshortening.
