Charcoal Life Dump



I discovered that I love using compressed charcoal. I think it frees me up in a way that pencil or chinagraph doesn't. I also prefer the aesthetic of it. Maybe I'll keep up with it, and screw the damn chinagraph that I've been wrestling with for the last year.

Life Dump

First update since second year, and guess what it is?! I hope the brightness/saturation is ok, having some calibration issues at the moment...









So, yep. Been a good term so far. Not regretting any decisions; Maya is my new best friend. Getting into the swing of things with the drawing, learning, writing, animating. :) All is good.

Lotsa Lotsa Life Drawings

Yep, as a result of not scanning for ages, I now have loads I want to share! Most of them are from our costume sessions, which are really great fun, I always enjoy them whenever I go.









A more refined life drawing, done during a session where Peter Parr, a former tutor on the course, was teaching. I learnt a lot that day, he was extremely inspirational and such a good laugh! I recommend you look him up, or check out his tumblr: http://peterparr.tumblr.com/



One thing that Peter Parr taught me, and that I'm desperately trying to improve on, is my line quality. All too often I'll rush in with thick lines and completely kill any sense of form or three dimensionality. In these, I tried to spend more time observing and thinking about the quality of the line that I put down, and maybe it's just me but I think it's helped. If only Parr could come teach me every day!
