3/18/2020 — 3/22/2019

Assignment Goals:

  • draw and analyze feet

Personal Goals:

  • try drawing cleaner lines using pencil instead of pen
  • focus on construction rather than on reference photos
  • observe simple poses first to capture form, contour and volume of feet

Some of my reference photos:

I tried to capture volume with grid, but honestly not that helpful. :(

Drawings:

orthografic side + inner view
orthografic side + outer view, bottom view
trying to draw other angles + struggle with elongating and foreshortening feet
straying from construction → getting back on track in constructing feet form
more feet angles (no photo reference)
