Hi people :)
Another busy week comes to an
end. As I’ve mentioned before, one of our final project is to do a short film.
The video shoot is eating up all my time, even on the weekends. I’ve decided to put on hold updating my blog till I finish the semester so I can
focus more on my finals. I’m still going to continue practicing, but not as
much.
I’m really looking forward to the
holidays. There’s a project in 3d that I’ve been meaning to work on for a while
now. Can’t wait :)
As for this week, I spent half of it practicing anatomy and the other half drawing animals using photo references. I
remember reading interviews from successful artists about
developing your own style. They emphasize on the importance of drawing from
life rather than copying other artist. Its also important to keep in mind is
that it’s going to take time. Draw every day, with passion and the constant
need to learn new things. Drawing from life also improves your design sense in
a way.
I noticed it somewhat when I was
drawing animals. I did studies of two separate animals first and
then tried to come up with one of my own creatures by combining the two. Not
that I was able to design a super cool super awesome creature. not yet at least :D but rather than trying
to come up with a random design using my imagination, it helped a lot in terms of design knowing
how something actually looks like. Even the weirdest aliens from far away
galaxies are based off of something in real life. Maybe I should plan a trip to
the zoo. Something else I can look forward to do during the holidays.
Hope everyone has a great week
and happy drawing :D
