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.
good job I could really see some of the artists style in both drawings . It worked to carry over elements such as leaving some parts incomplete in your translation. I would have liked to see it a little bigger?
Slight hints of value in master copy is spot-on. One thing to note is to pay attention to the line weight variation going from elegant to stark lines. That is one thing absent in your applied study but the stylization of the master study is translated very well.
The original work had very strong shadowing on the face of the subject. Stephanie’s drawing of her brother needed shadowing because this was a focal point of the original piece. Both pieces were clean and well rendered but the lack of shadowing made the two works appear as different styles. Also, the artist is known for her portraits of women that are emaciated and often placed in an empty space.
I love both of them, especially your Master Study of your brother (way less creepy than the little girl). The fine lines/contours of the figure are skillfully done and they both look like they could be part of a series. Well done!
Exceptionally well rendered. Smooth shadows, high key aesthetic in accordance with the original. If anything, the Study may have too many contour lines within the folds of the suit. While they express the man's dress clearly, I'm not sure that's exactly how the Copy looked.
"Ragamuffins" The expressions being key in the copy and the original, this is rather successful--though the noticeable smudging is a bit of a departure from the master's more limited mark-making.
You did a fantastic job on these. I would have liked to see a little more exaggeration on the head of your second piece as the master artist had done. Nice work
Master
ReplyDeleteGreat reconstruction of the original
Clean contour lines

Very successful style match
Simplicity of figure and lack of grey tones gives the piece an illustrative quality

ReplyDeleteThe rendering of the master copy is done well. The contours are nice. Your master study followed Mancelli’s style well.

ReplyDeleteThe style and execution of the work is excellent. No other criticism needed, good job.
