5min Studies

I always believe that life drawing is the single most important thing to an animator or any artist really. Keeping a constant grip on anatomy is extremely important in all aspects of art. Though a character may have a large head to maybe show that he’s an egg-head; he still needs the rest of the body to flow with him and be sized accordingly. This is a 5min.

This is another 5min study I did in the same sitting. They are from live models that I saw at the park. I looked beyond the clothes to see the true form of the body. I start all of my studies with working around the body in circles. Having a line of action and then just using circles for my proportions. Then shading comes next with the hatching effect. I would use more polished shadings on longer studies. I did notice that the footing on the man was kinda funky. Also the arms on it was really weird. But I really like how the 2 turned out over all.
