Planar Analysis, Cowboy Troy
I turned in and was critiqued on my intuitive perspective piece. The critique mainly detailed line variation, in the sense that my lines need to be darker in areas. This is different from last week's line variation, however, since last week I made all of my lines too uniform in many places, and instead in this one, even if they do change, in many cases they should just be bolded to help bring the sense of space to a greater level, and help the chair become better grounded.
I was worried at first that it was going to be really time consuming and hard to create the same level of clarity within the subject matter with free hand than with the other perspectives involving reference points, since how many times has the eye tricked and something just looks off. Many people in critique had something here or there that looked off--and I wanted to avoid that. I believe I did, since no one mentioned anything.
The part I had the hardest time with was the floor boards, sense they really wanted a point but I didn't have one to give them. Overall, for the amount of trouble I had with them, aside from the fuzziness in places, they turned out directionally well.
So Cowboy Troy reminded me of this one skit from SNL with Andy Samberg, Ludacris, and T-Pain. This isn't related to drawing specifically, except for class today. So anyways, here's the link
Alright. Planar Analysis. I practiced it, and yet in class I felt like what I was doing wasn't coming out the way I wished. I think that was mainly because I need to become more accustomed to charcoal, and work a lot more on practicing getting the correct planes. Overall though, I think the finished outcome will look really cool--once I finally practice enough. But then again, won't my practice look interesting too?
This week's homework assignment looks like it has potential, drapery is interesting to draw, I haven't done it for a long time, especially not under the pretense of line quality. I'm really looking forward to next week's assignment, however, because the idea of mixing faces plus planar analysis I believe is going to come out with some really interesting results.
