ART 87 Homework

Part 1 - Drawing Assignment: This assignment involves the practice of figure construction from photographs using an egg form for the ribcage and a bathing-suit style form for the pelvis. Construct the arms and legs as tapering cylinders and clearly draw the planes of the head . Choose a combination of front and back ¾ views. When drawing the legs, have the lower leg start as a cylinder but end with the proper ankle-foot connection (show how the ankle bones grab onto the sides of the foot, and draw the foot as a simple but dimensional form). Also, be sure to draw the scapula and clavicle (shoulder blade and collar bone) when applicable.

Hi Class, For your first homework assignment I want you to practice figure construction from photographs using the idea of the egg-and-box torso with cylindrical arms and legs. The planes of the head should articulated when applicable, and include a center line and eye line (refer to the example image below). I've compiled some images for you at  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B08nCszkPL1oMFVtSDhXWFZDVjQ?usp=sharing . From the roughly 100 images in the folder, I want you to do 20 figure constructions.  You should spend about 6-8 minutes per drawing. I want to see two drawings per page (use front and back to save paper). Try timing yourself so that each drawing is around 6-8 minutes long. Use a ballpoint pen in an 11x14" sketchbook. Exaggerate the pose a bit. Remember that while you are constructing a lot of form, you still need to maintain a gestural feel to the drawing. In other words, make sure that the drawing doesn't look stiff and robotic. Draw the gest...
