[COMPLETED] Joshua’s 100 Day Challenge: 1 Daily Drawing from Imagination

[Joshua Jacobo]

Thank you. Not sure how I feel about those digital paintings but they are posted so I will just keep working!

Day 86:

I decided to introduce a new curve which is a sagittal cross-section aligning with the center of the eye. This gives me a lot of useful things such as orbit construction and defining the area lateral to the mouth. Not sure if this will work well in perspective until I try it.

Day 87: working a bit more on the skeletal structure

 

[Joshua Jacobo]

Day 88: I’m working out some of the anatomy to see how the construction should be adjusted.

This is a good idea of practice. The structure looks good to me 👍

Day 89: here are the adjusted curves based on the anatomy study.

Hi Joshua. This is looking really good. It’s readable and is clearly working – your portraits are great. I’m able to start working on this concept now, but before I do, I want to ask whether I can use what you’re doing as a ‘textbook’, or if you’d rather I don’t. I take IP very seriously, so have no issue with you saying no. One thing I’m having difficulty with at this point is exactly where on the X axis to put the corners of the eyes and particularly the near eye in a 3/4 view. I can measure it off a photo and get it right, but that’s not my goal. I still don’t understand it firmly in 3D space and that’s a problem. It’s bugging me and doing this exercise will help.

Day 90: I’ve built this head around my profile construction. This is a proof of concept of a sort for the new more complex curves.

Here is my construction overlaid over the drawing.

Deborah, of course you’re free to study these images.

There’s a lot of information on why I’m putting certain landmarks where, etc that’s not in the images I’m sharing. All of that would be what a NMA course or book would explain.

So yes, by all means, experiment on your own, but until I have something finished and available for students I don’t want to get into the specifics or teach it.

[Debbie H]

That’s fair enough. Thank you for your generosity 🙂.

Day 91: Experimenting with color.

Day 92: I’m going to try a profile construction of a woman’s head as a contrast to my last one:

 

[Joshua Jacobo]

Day 93: I’m drawing a woman’s head into this construction. Work in progress. I’m trying to use this as way to find differences and mistakes in my first construction, which actually has been working

 

[Joshua Jacobo]

Day 94:

New head. I will clean up and post the construction tomorrow!

 

[Joshua Jacobo]

FYI, I will be spending a few days in a cabin in the forest. Supposedly I will have connection but I am not able to post for a few days, just know I’m alive!
