Life Drawing Session

Used some green paper and deciphered light from darks and tried to look at the pose.
Did a quick digital study only using shape tools. to get the idea in my head that everything is a shape and that you can get different styles etc and how could drawing in life drawing translate into projects.
Looked at weight and certain parts of the poses. that seemed interesting to me. Will try to look closer next time.



Did a continuous movement piece. Maybe next time ill make it more obvious what each part is and get more full profiles or simply try make one image out of it all. Also want to try out using alcohol markers or ink etc more mediums. And keep trying to tackle the difficulties I have.

First Developments What If Metropolis?@Phil

I Spoke to Jordan and after his feedback I am now going to look at doing abstraction into structures by doing the stamps, like the custom shapes, backspaces and textures we watched today. This way I should be able to get a better understanding of the structures I'm thinking building assets and then into concept thumbnails that are more finalised and a better match style (everything). I might scan in drawings as well or instead to help or consider collage.. and the space but of course it is hard to not go generic or to go too far off course so I will keep reading back too. Also Retro Futurism as this was before futurism was seen as negative or scary and more wonderful. And the idea of balance and how the abstract forms do so, less chaotic and more melancholy? like 2001 a space odyssey at the beginning.  ( Any advice or opinion is greatly appreciated questions good too. Had to upload inspiration boards separately as the file was too large for Scribd. ) will post moddboards when file is small enough.

What If Metropolis? @Phil

Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
So I started thinking about the fact that the city needs rotation,orbit,trying to think bigger and the city/citys being off the ground.. balance ( influences of Calder he looked at the circus when he did wire sculptures and I took inspiration from his shapes too. ) not trying to define too much here in terms of the buildings..just where things are or what it could be like. . I was thinking about getting influence from 2001 A space odyssey/The Jetsons or the 1970s  if I found it hard for ideas..and looking at calder more. I was also thinking about trying to draw in my sketchbook and then paint with assets like before..
