More Figures in Motion August 2019
I love drawing human figures, and although I can draw people who are sitting around, or standing in groups talking, I can't draw any person who is moving fast. I keep thinking that if I draw enough from photos, I will be able to fill my memory with specific actions, but so far that is not happening.
I sketched these 3 figures on quarter sheets of scrap copy paper, painted them with watercolor, then collaged them on a piece of paper that I made with acrylic paints and a Gelli Plate.
Last night I began a new Fall Class at Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) - "Fashion Art and Design." It is basically a drawing class and we spent the first 2 hour class drawing the very elongated figures used in fashion design. A "normal" person is 7.5 heads long. A fashion illustration body is 10 heads long - mostly due to long legs. I'll post my homework for next week soon to demonstrate the differences. I already love the class.
