Manikin Update

I ran into less problems working on the arm and shoulder muscles. I am getting use to working with the atlases and I find it easier to reference without the other muscles shown on the page I am working from. That was one of the first problems I ran into when working with the Manikin. I find the work relaxing and enjoy it, even though I would rather draw from the models.




Ink Wash Shell Drawing I


I enjoyed doing the first ink wash drawing, I put my time into the contour drawing and used black ink and water colors to bring forward and push back certain areas. I rather enjoy using ink and water color. For the next drawing I'm going to position the shell so it isn't as foreshortened and spend more time with more sittings on the ink wash to really make it pop. In class this is the first drawing from the model focusing on the shoulders and arms and I enjoyed bringing the upper body into the mix.
