Developing skills and knowledge

Face Drawing Exercise

As part of the skills task we were assigned to draw a fast portrait using guidelines. I used a B pencil on an A5 sketchbook page.

Portraits and anatomy will be a big part of concept art, however i think the usage of guidelines are not necessarly useful. 

I much more prefer loose sketching as it gives a lot more freedom to the artist to create more interesting shapes, embrace the assimetry, give expression and so on.

Body Drawing Exercise

 

I ended up not using the line properly and the result was stiff, the proportions were off and it just looks odd and unbalanced.
