More posters and blockins

Week 3 is almost over. This week we did 3 poster studies (2 6hour and 1 3hours) and 3 drawings

In class we usually rotate our positions for each new pose. This week I was in complete front light position for my 2nd poster. I really really struggled with this one and Michelle reworked many parts of it.



Here are the lessons learned
Define the averages for each part of the body ( the head, neck, ribcage, pelvis or hips, upper legs, lower legs, feet, upper arms, lower arms, hands). In this poster I initially included the pelvis as part of the ribcage and it did not look like she was sitting at all. I had an AHA moment when she added that.

Think globally. Always look at the big picture. Don't just look for local color/value relationships. They have make sense globally and have to convey the light in the scene. If something doesn't look right i.e if the poster looks flat meaning there is no sense of space, try to see what relationships are wrong. The question to ask is not is this value same/higher/lower as the value over there but rather, does this scene look the scene in front of me. Does it convey the position/action I see in the model in front of me. If not I need to reevaluate my relationships. For each part/form try to think which way the light is falling from light to dark.
