6PM – Digital Illustration 2

MONDAY

Today we had a short lesson on figure proportions. We talking about:

• Measuring a character’s height with number of heads
• Proportions of body parts to each other (such as elbows are 1/2 down the arm, and right next to the waist usually)
• Drawing the “stick figure” sketch
• Drawing the “body” on the stick figure

HOMEWORK

• Take a two pictures of yourself in two separate poses (you can use the mirror or6 someone can help you)
• Find a full-body image of any character
• With each of these three images, do the steps we did in class.
  • 1) How many heads?
  • 2) Draw the stick figure “skeleton” and remember to include the joints
  • 3) Draw the fleshed out body without tracing the original image
• You can do all three images in the same canvas, use different layers and folders to separate them.
