I'm from an animation background so the subject of pure art was never taught to us. So, I'm testing out this Art School exercise by ! I had certainly considered going to an art school at some point in time, but reconsidered after discussing it with my family. Art wasn't a really a subject the education system in Malaysia puts time and money into, (DESPITE HOW MUCH TALENT WE HAVE HERE-) and it's a shame, really. But thankfully, things are being re-considered here!
Anyway, this seemed like an interesting exercise, where we have to understand and draw 'negative space', so I'm gonna try it out!
Our first homework is drawing the images given in negative space :
CHAIR EXERCISE
For the chair exercise, I had 2 drawings. The first one I like because of the balance in black and white, but I wasn't sure if it was following the negative space rules, so I made another one!
POSE EXERCISE
I really like drawing a woman's body, especially their curves and thiccness. The sketches in my phone consists of girls and cats XD It would be filled with male bodies as well but sadly I'm very bad at that part. But its very interesting how the human body works! And drawing it in negative, you can certainly see where you went wrong :o The following drawings were made many many times...
HAND EXERCISE
Our next exercise is to draw our hand from life in negative space in at least 3 different poses.
I hope I'm doing things right here, I have 0 experience in this field but Im so excited to try it out!
How was your weekends, guys? snore Mine was pretty slow, but I managed to go to the beach yesterday hehe. You guys should take some time off before 2018 comes. Goodluck on the Monday blues!
