ASSIGNMENTS
Cross Contour Project Deadline Extended!
I decided to add in an additional project video to practice cross contour. I'll show you how I turn up the difficulty level on ginger root blobs and turn them into characters.
Deadline: 6-10-2024
Turn the Difficulty Knob
- Start with random ginger blobs. Make them humanoid by adding limbs and a head. Focus on mass rather than anatomy and proportions.
- Use photos of people in dynamic poses. Ensure the photos have depth (things coming towards you, body twisting, etc..). Avoid static poses.
- Create specific characters with pre planned proportions, like a monster ogre with a club. More specific characters add more constraints and chances for errors.
Refine the Drawing
Switch to a black pencil for cleanup. Focus on line weight and clean up your shape design. Adjust cross contours to show depth and volume. Emphasize interesting shapes and avoid symmetry.
Very fun assignment, constructive feedback is welcome.
I made these ginger people a little "robotic," just to practice drawing basic 3d shapes more. Since ginger people essentially simplified versions of human bodies, I should be able to draw them at any and every pose, at any angle.
I refined only 3 of my sketches because I wanted to move on to the next project. But I'll likely revisit this assignment
