SHELL AND FEET
So over the weekend we were assigned a contour drawing with our new and improved shells! I was hoping that my contour drawing would go smoothly with no major problems. Well I was wrong. My shell looks kind of like a smoothed out conch shell, so I decided initially to start with the end with all of the arms closest to me and work my way down the shell. I figured the easiest way to get started would be to sketch the basic form of the shell and proceed from there.
Lets just say for some reason I just couldn't even seem to get a basic form down. I tried and erased about 5 different shells before I decided to completely switch my point of view. I ended up drawing my shell from a pretty basic point of view that allowed me to do just the overall shape of the shell without having to worry about the troublesome arms that come off of it. I was a bit more successful with my contour lines and feel that overall, my shell turn out alright. It definitely doesn't pop as much as I would have liked it to, but at least its not completely flat!
We also found out at the end of class that we are to buy sheets of paper that are 38"x50" for our next three shell contour drawings!! I'm kind of excited to really tackle my shell on a much larger scale and plan to take it a few hours at a time so that I can do a good job on it. Amy showed us what we will eventually be doing with our shells and the images that she showed us in class were really descriptive and fun to look at.
We also had lecture on the foot this week. I was absent from class on Tuesday due to illness so I wasnt in class for the actual lecture. I was able to take down notes from the sheet on the wall as well as from a classmate so I at least got some out of the lecture notes. My very first drawing of the foot was absolutely horrible!! I think Amy noticed pretty quickly that I needed to be filled in on a couple of proportion things so she sat down and showed me a few things to take into consideration. After she showed me just a could of planer shapes of the foot my next few drawings were much more successful!
