LAUAN403 - TASK 1 - Drawing and Development: Solid Drawing (Animation 1: Animation Skills)

For our first task we were instructed to complete a series sketches based on dynamic poses drawn from life.

10 two minute basic sketches

5 five minute developed and improved sketches

2 ten minute black and white developed and detailed sketches

2 fifteen minute detailed, spot coloured sketches

1 thirty minute rendered coloured sketch 






 Analysis

Results - I have developed my skills in life drawings and using my time wisely to create sketches efficiently. It can be clearly seen that my sketching has generally improved from the very first two minute sketch to my last rendered thirty minute sketch. I feel that continued practice like this will help me improve further in drawing action lines and forming dynamic poses. The final sketches feel solid and have some sort of weight to them, which shows the development of the drawings.

Critique - One example of criticism is that I should try be more accurate with my basic construction. For example, the very first sketch should be bigger and the proportions of the limbs and body parts should be more accurate. I should also try keep consistent with my art style and body proportion.
