It’s time to simplify those snails and boots! I show you how I would do it in these step-by-step demos for the level 1 CSI project. Make sure to check back tomorrow for my level 2 demonstrations!
Liked the envelope metaphor. Snail after demo and boots before demo (they were challenging — inked them after drawing with pencil). Onto level 2 drawings next.
Finally done with it. The boots were so painfull and felt impossible in the beginning..But it felt so rewarding with the results even thoug line quality is not the best i did some of it in the subway. ^^'
Heres my snail attempt after watching the demo. I wanna try again soon and then the boots too.
My first level 2 exercise before watching the demo. Once again, my initial lay out proportions are off. So, it affects everything. I found this easier than the level 1 boots, though!
this is my second time with both the pictures without seeing the guidance. This time i am more confident in mapping all the lines. Can anyone give me a comment how to make them better
Am I crazy? It seems like almost all of the teaching happens in the demo, but I'm discouraged from viewing it until after the assignment. I feel like I would be better off watching the demo first and then finding a separate reference for the assignment. That way I would get instruction first but still work to find my independent solution. Please, someone let me know if I have the wrong understanding. It would help me to know.
You are not crazy. That's how it is set up!
I believe it's encouraged to struggle with the assignment first because otherwise you would not know what part of the process you struggle with and what you are not thinking about. This is very much part of the artistic process and it's a great learning opportunity.
Alright, so I drew everything twice again. Once before the demo and once after the demo. The boots KILLED me. Anyways, I think I started to get a hang of the exercise better in part two. I feel like my lines here are really stiff, but hey that's what practice is for :P
heres my snail! (edited in cam app to see the lines easier) - i didnt use base lines or the boxes to frame out where to put the shell etc. i was rlly tryna stay simple w it. focusing on confident lines mostly tho. will totes use my base lines next time
I tried to show it coming towards us in the lines with thickness, in hindsight I could've played up the stretching a little bit more, and made the rest of the body a bit smaller. Any critique welcome :)
It is definitely simplified which was the assignment. As a comment I can add that the proportions are not always right (but who cares in this state of the course).
