The second example of mannequinization.
First sketches made after watching the first video of the mannequinizatiom amd the second sketches I did it along with the first example video.
A few things are still a little bit off I think. I will look at it tomorrow with fresh eyes. Did not sleep very well and already exercising for several hours 😅
But as always open for feedback if anyone notice something
Anyone knows why Stan skips her feet? ahhhhh im dying to see him draws em, constructs em
My attempt at this example.
I tried doing this one only with overhand grip of the pencil, I struggled to adjust as I've never built up the muscle memory drawing this way! Maybe it's too much to juggle with learning mannequinization at the same time, but I can see it being a superior method if I stick to it!
Right so the first image is my first attempt of course, and the second is after I watched the video.
What I notice is that for the first one it's REALLY stiff and looks all just... weird, while with the second one I was sure to work on the actual gesture first. But with the second, I now notice the placement of the arms was a little off.
Maybe one day I'll achieve placement AND gesture🥲
Any advice appreciated❤️
Nothing against Stan, but comparing his drawing to the reference photo, the drawing needs to lose at least 50 pounds. (I think the model would be offended by it.)
My attempt before watching the video.
a few shortcomings on mine.
i missed the pelvis angle, my box has the other side plane showing.
my overall gesture isnt as strong.
i could be more deliberate with my contour lines, a lot of them look like the same angle ellipse
my thoracic arch is too big, it should be more narrow on a lady
could have made more indications of planes on the head.
onto the next one!
For this one I followed along at the start, but then went off on my own without Stan's demo for later parts. Kinda wonky looking, especially with the arms, but I tried!
hey guys I am new to this course may I ask what is stan drawing on the belly part? and Why he does that? Coz me personally saw some form on it but I dont think its so obvious. could i use a lighter line weight? And is it simply an artistic decision?
I went back to the explanation video and this appears to be the same or very similar drawing he uses in the abs explanation section. Basically, he uses two shapes to indicate the abs, a cylinder at the top and wider box shape below the belly button. Keep in mind that he says your free to use whatever shapes you feel best fit the figure. So yes it's ultimately up to you as the artist. Stan is showing us one way to do this but you are free to take the principle and apply it as you see fit. Also, these mannequins are simplified versions of the form. For example, pelvis, joints and the head don't have actual box shapes. Boxes are used to help us understand plane changes and orientation. As for line weight, I would say use a lighter line for the gesture and a heavier line for the 3D forms like the abs. Lastly, since you said you are new to this course, make sure to watch previous lessons in this course. All of Stan's concepts build on each other.
