19th Jan 2009

Basic Anatomy & Figure Sketching

To-do-list:
  1. Draw a portrait of your classmate on a piece of A3 paper.
  2. Then using a sheet of A4/A3 tracing paper, draw out the skull of the figure.
  3. Using photos of your/others' expressions, create a drawing which at least contains 3 expressions. This is to be done on A3 drawing paper.
They are to be handed in during the next lesson, which is 3rd Feb, after Chinese New Year.


As for the sketchbook, the requirements are:
  • A total of 100 sketches
  • 50 life sketches or lines of the human form. You can head outdoors to a cafe or a park to observe passerbys to do them. When doing lines, please try to complete a posture within 5 mins before heading to a next one. These are to be done using pen.
  • 20 human sketches with lightning and shadows observed.
  • 30 free topic sketches, though it's advised that you stick to drawing abstract human form/design/realistic sketches.
Do note that the min. size required for the sketchbook is A5. So it's not necessary to get an A4 sketchbook, though it's all right if you already did so.


2D Studio Art

To-do-list:
  1. Complete the tryout exercise of 6 different painting styles, with each style duly noted on the drawing using the photo that you've brought today.
  2. Using the same photo, please choose a style and complete another painting in A2 size. It is okay to use more than one style for the final painting.
These 2 are to be handed in on next Wed (28th Jan). Please pass them to me during lesson time so I can bring the lot to Miguel's office.

P.S. Please note that there'll be a makeup lesson for Chinese New Year on this coming Wed (21th Jan), 9am - 12pm.

Things to be brought on 21th Jan:
  • A portrait photo of yourself in high contrast.
  • Charcoal
  • Usual painting materials + A2 paper

Any enquires/missing details, feel free to tag at the chatbox. Cheers!
