Notes from a longer study 6/14

Legs and an explanation ...

Here are a few of my leg and anatomy lecture demonstrations. Additionally, I have also included some text to hopefully clarify my interests and concerns when teaching anatomy. Please look at these drawings as aids to understand the process notes on the leg posted May 21.

Feet

I haven't put up any feet yet, hopefully I'll get some better leg diagrams up this weekend to go with.

More gestures ... 6/7

Quick Painting Sketch 6/5

An unfinished painting demonstration from this week.

Arm Process Notes

I wanted to provide a more clear cut page on process to supplement what already exists in the book. Hopefully, I'll gather this all up soon as a revised pdf chapter. However, for the time being I hope it will prove to be useful in addition to the revised anatomy diagrams for the arm below.

Additional Leg Examples

Here are a couple examples for extra reference on development of the leg. The above image shows examples of the lay-in or gesture stage. Here I am looking for weight, through the tilt of the pelvis, and weight bearing leg (shown with straighter lines), while also indicating perspective with some volumes and wrapping lines.

This next drawing shows a second level to the legs development. On top of the initial stage, these drawings use cylinders to describe basic volume and perspective placement, and then have simple anatomical volumes wrapped around those forms.
