LP Study Week 6




Hey guys.  With this long pose I wanted to show how much you can get done without a lot of rendering.  It seems when we do long poses we think of tightly rendered pieces.

This week I'll do a more academic style figure drawing.  It's a little different.














Notice I completely changed the compositition and lighting to be
more interesting.  I want to show you that you should not be at the mercy of your reference or model.  The painting up top could be taken to finish even without the model.

    Dude, this is some next level stuff, man! Can you attach the reference so I can see what details you kept and omitted?

    Here you go. As you can see, I didn't copy the values in the image. I designed my own. The reference is just reference. I wanted a more interesting image than a figure sitting in the center with a blank background.
    Remember to design the space you have. It could be just negative shapes created by shadow, objects in the background, etc. I try and treat these as if I was in workshop and I had a model in front of me.
    Hope this helps :)
