The Past Two Weeks

I decided to post my drawings from the past two weeks as one, mainly because I only got a couple of drawings per session that I want to post up. The shapes and forms are coming along much better these days, along with my edge quality. I am almost starting to think that all these drawing I have been doing are starting to pay off. The last class we were only working on three minute drawings and I kept wishing I had just two more minutes on some of them. Two weeks ago we we doing 8 minute drawings allowing more full body sketches. I did not apply any shading to the drawings, I was mostly concentrating on the line and edge placement of the anatomy. Hopefully when I get more time on the drawings my edges will rock, and the shading will only harmonize with the forms I have edged in. One step at a time.

Al Capone 3D Head Model

Here is another head model that is based on the Reilly planes of the face. This mode of Al Capone was actually completed before the other head I posed up. You will notice that from this head to the last head I have applied more of the Reilly planes, and I will continue to due to and refine the actual mesh layout until it is almost flawless, then I may have to write a book on this topic so that the 3D community can except/reject these modeling methods. So far the feedback I am getting though is quite positive, everyone is always looking for new techniques and I think I think I may have found one.

Drawing and Anatomy: Quarter Start

I started back up last week sitting in on the Drawing and Anatomy class again, but since it was day one we did not get much drawing time and did mostly only warm ups. These drawing were from week 2, yesterday. I am getting better line work and still focusing on the body layout, I was putting extra attention into the workings of the knee and elbow. Hope you enjoy!

Over Break: The Head Model

Since there was no class this week, due to the break in between quarters, I decided to take my knowledge of the Reilly method as it applies to the head and put my full knowledge into a 3d head study. I am happy with the results, the last head modeled I really only focused on the planes in the cheeks and the forehead of the face. This model I took extra care to add in add the planer lines throughout the face, paying close attention to the overlapping surfaces. I took a render and tried to show the flow of the polys, check it out:
