Students learn basic anatomy and will begin to develop an understanding of the way a figure inhabits space; thus able to successfully reproduce this space in two dimensions. The goal of the course is to learn academic, realistic representation of the figure: Emphasis will be on accurately rendering the figure on the page in proper proportion. Students work up to developing a personal style within the confines of academic figurative art.
Your master copy is done beautifully. Darks could be pushed a bit more. The master study is nice as well but I would have liked to see a full body. The darks and lights that you put in your study really work and look very much like Golucho’s
As always, superbly rendered copy. The assignment directly staated that backgrounds werent important. For a piece like this though, so much of the subject's shading is dependent upon his surroundings that it would have benefited greatly to be standing against more accurately shaded background. Original lacks the rest of body and appears unlike the master (based on the one example provided). It feels incomplete.
"Man in Diaper/Disembodied Legs" As usual, the pencil work is very fine and meticulous--the photorealism of the master work being suited to his style. Despite the present effectiveness of his value range--as in the original--a few more degrees of darkness would help with dimensionality. ...The original piece, however, cannot be said to really emulate the master's style--based as it here is upon strong characterization--since there is no definable character to speak of.
I think your master study was beautifully rendered. I would have liked to see a whole figure for your second drawing but I know how difficult that would have been. Possible a more detailed section of the body would have been more effective.
Master
ReplyDeleteNear perfect render of the original
Tonal variations differed slightly
Details and proportions are very precise
Figure
Extremely successful style match
Why just legs?

ReplyDeleteThe realism is definitely there, and the shading looks absolutely great in both drawings. Great job Mike!

ReplyDeleteI would like to see darker darks to create more of a contrast on the legs instead of the midtones of a graphite pencil but overall great mark making.
