I am starting this blog to document my journey to convert the Frank Reilly drawing methods into parell methodes for 3D modeling. I will be focusing on how the planes of the face and body are guildlines for polygon edge placement and edge flow.

I am starting on a long study of the traditional application of the Reilly methodes. Before I try to convert it over to 3d, I must first perfect my knowledge on paper. Only once I understand it on paper will the knowledge transfer to polygons.

Wrapping up Drawing and Anatomy

Here is the result of the last session of Drawing and Anatomy. I found myself really looking forward to these drawing sessions by the end of the quarter, and I decided to keep with it. I cleared my schedule so that I could continue on with the Advanced Anatomy class next quarter. I still fight the pencil, but I have gotten back into the grove and hopefully soon I can take the step to the next level.

FYI - In between the Drawing for Anatomy and the Advanced Anatomy classes I took what I learned and applied it to 3D. I modeled, to date, the best head I have ever completed. I followed the flow of the planes of the face and ended up with amazing results. I used to have a hard time getting those cheek bones to pop, but not anymore! I will share these results in the future, but I think it is pre-mature. I have only successfully transferred over 3 of the planes of the face from paper to poly, so when I get a couple more I will make sure to write up a nice tutorial on the workflow.

Here are the drawings:
