The demo for this project was just posted. Although I didn't get very far on this (level2, torso boxes from photos), I wanted to post what I had before watching the demo. I found this exercise very hard! Re-did these first 4 many times, and as you can see even on these "final" ones there are a ton of erasures. Will see how close these actually are, once I watch the demo.

Kept it simple - just tried to add gesture to a basic box building. Twisting was difficult - first attempt was just plain distorted. Second was closer to an actual twist. Harder than it looked!

Guess I'll post all of it here. Ginger progress (first two were pretty bad), a contoured seal, and 3 ginger people. The first two ginger people were from imagination, and it shows since they are quite broken - the only way they are possible is if they are gumbies! I tried the 3rd from a photo reference, and altho it doesn't much look like ginger, at least the joints aren't broken. :)

Having a lot of trouble seeing the proper tilt for the ellipse as well as extruding it into a 3d cylinder. And it shows, even with this highly simplified drawing.

I know we are way past these now, but I'm still going back to work on rhythms because, well, I really like them. :) Have a long ways to go, but I do see improvement.

I only got to the first 4 so far, but better that than none. I haven't watched the demo yet. Harder than I'd expected, as you can tell from all the erasing. :) If I can do some more tomorrow before the deadline, I'll add them to this posting.

2-minutes each. Need to stop going over the same line repeatedly. Have to admit, the timer is making me a bit nervous.

Need to be more careful with my verticals and horizontals. Didn't realize they were off until I saw the photo.

Now I'm behind again, but better late than never. :) I've done these over a couple weeks, just 1-2 at a time. It seems I need to attempt each pose twice - the first time ends poorly but I learn about the pose, and the second time is usually an improvement. Tried charcoal and couldn't control it, so I reverted back to my trusty red pencil. Have a long ways to go, but really enjoying this!

Well, it's only 3 pics but it was 6 drawings since I redid several (which I learned a lot from!) I think version2 of pic1 is way better, pic2 is too thin and wrinkly but it's the best of the 3 tries, and (surprisingly) I'm kind of ok with pic3. Will do more...
