// The Project // The assignment was to first draw the mannequins in five different positions. Then, in a secondary drawing, add a character to the mannequin. The goal was to focus on dimension, perspective, proportion, and contrast. It definitely made me think about proportions of human anatomy. // My Process // Before I started on this art project I had to sketch the basic framework of the human body in the position that I had chosen. Then I had to build off of that “skeleton” to create a form that followed the pose I had decided upon. Later I repeated the process and added an actual character to the mannequin. The steps in making this work of art that were most important to me were that the proportions were correct and there was a high amount of contrast. One part of the process that was a little difficult for me was creating high contrast textures. I found it challenging to create such detail on the paper I was using as well as with the various pencils. // The Theme // This collection of drawings has an overall melancholy tone. Most of the poses I have chosen for the girls emanate a sadness or angst. //Conclusion // I enjoyed doing this project because it helped me to practice proportion in respect to the human anatomy. I also liked that I had the chance to create a collection of slightly unified drawings. Finally, I loved that I was allowed to create drawings with high contrast. I want to improve on proportion, cast shadows of human figures, and defining textures. | "Melancholy Girls" |
