Drawing and Painting course #2 begun.. But to my surprise we wont be doing any drawing nor painting.. but sculpting! what the hell....

Anyways.. 1st task was to pick some picture of a realistic/real character and do a sorta caricature/simplified version of it using plasticine.

I decided to do some sort of african american round-faced male head.

Pretty much 1st time i ever do anything "serious" with this type of media.. Took me 2 mornings.
Next task is to edit this sculpt and give the character emotion.

Damn! Blogspot made the picture 50% darker once again.. AArghh!!!

Anyways.... Charcoal, 1h, thick gray paper.

This weekend no inspiration to paint or draw.. so .... nothing much..

This time we couldnt do smooth shading and i decided to practice foreshortenings too...

Charcoal, thick gray paper, about 3 hours.

Here are some more self-portraits i did.. but very quickly becuase i had to go to another class..
TOP: 30 mins, a little bit of measuring
BOTTOM: about 5 minutes, no measuring.

Charcoal, thick gray paper.

This time we did a self-portrait. I had to go early so i did just a quick one. I did smooth some parts out.. so i will later take a updated photo of this.

EDIT: updated pic uploaded

charcoal, thick gray paper, mirror.

Top: Day 3 - HB Pencil, task was to use only line art.. no shading.

Bottom: Day 2 - charcoal, task was to paint LIGHT only.. so i put the whole paper black and erased light out of it.

Human life drawing course begun..
Charcoal on gray thick paper.

I did a rock sculpt in Zbrush for our short movie and when in 3DsMax viewport - i zoomed in a bit too much.. thats when this amazing inspiration-overflowing world opened to me :)
