Alex’s 100 day art challenge

[Iliya Mirochnik]

Hi Alex,

I really like how you’re approaching figure drawing, and especially like this last light and form study. I did a general anatomical draw-over a fulgure drawing you posted on the 4th of July of the heavier set model. Heavier set models are fantastic to draw due to the plasticity and gestural interactions of all the forms, but it’s also harder to find where all that anatomy is. The way I sketched it, I mainly inserted the rib cage and pelvis (I made the rib cage purposefully larger than it really is to help establish landmarks on the skin) and then sketched in more precise silhouettes in the legs. I’ll definitely be looking in to see more work and comment in the future.

Good luck and keep up the awesome work!

@iliyamirochnik Hi Iliya, thank you so much for the draw-over. This is extremely helpful I’m going to definitely be working on these aspects you have pointed out. Also, please do check in, your comments are very much welcome and I look forward to hearing more from you.

best,

Alex

Day #18

I think the 10 minute drawing went much better than all of the others. I think I will practice drawing hands in ten minutes and gradually reduce the time. The 1 minute and 2 minute parts of the assignment were just way too fast and I got no benefit from them really.
