Life Drawing

I loved our life drawing class last week and i wanted to look further into it and how it could be used to help with our course and preferably animation!

This is an example of someone else's life drawing (no one famous possibly another student) but the reason

i wanted to include it in my blog is the fact that in a way it connotes movement even though each drawing is very different you can almost imagine the character moving around the page!

The one to the right shows a students work that it looking at the gesture and posture of a persons full body and limbs...we did a similar exercise where we had only a minute to draw what we saw and within that minute you have to capture the form and structure of the person! I think it helps to look at reality before you being to animate ... clearly your animation may be over exaggerated but it has been inspired by the real world therefore i think its very important to look carefully and closely at the movement and structure of your chosen character and environment before animating!!
