My Art Journey update #16

Wednesday I had to redo my sketches of the mannequin outside view of the arms in different positions twice. I don't know what the heck I was thinking the first time around!!! I was about to go batshit crazy and had to tell myself to "enjoy the journey " often. I finally got them to match up like they are supposed to be.

Thursday I drew 4 more different angles of the forearm and it's getting easier to draw as well as know where the muscles are supposed to go! 

Then today I got my mind fried with the back arm view with different angles of the hand. 

Thank you for reading.......until next time!

My Art Journey From My Mind Update #15

I finally finished section 108 to 143! Woohoo! He is showing us how the muscles look on the front and back with a side by side view, the inside view (left image) and outer view (right image)

Onto the next section to learn the rest of the muscles. I only have 82 videos left out of 225. I'm so excited!!!!!

My Art Journey - Anatomy Drawing Update #14

Happy first day of July!

I wanted to get a certain section finished before I posted again. I’ve gotten through videos 120-135! I have 7 more videos before I get to 3rd section of the muscles. I’m excited to be more than half way finished!



I was told to hang on to the neck muscles page I drew on 6/9 because we would be adding things to it. I had to re-do the 3/4 view one because I didn't think I'd have enough room for the arm muscles and didn't want my back view to be lonely on a page by itself.



And then I added arm bones....humerus, ulna and radius along with the pelvis and rib lines.
Some biceps and pec muscles.

The lovely deltoids and abdomen muscles

The serratus, oblique, dorsal, triceps, trapezoid, and shoulder muscles

Then I finished out the stylized mannequin and did views with light and shadows on muscles then a surface anatomy

Whew! That was a lot. Now on to creating one of his character designs in video lesson 136, this should be interesting.


WOOHOO!


Have a safe and Happy INDEPENDENCE DAY holiday, and until next time,

Art Journey From My Mind Update #13!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday and Summer Solstice!

I didn't post Friday because I was sick most of the week and with all the other sad things going on I forgot. I did get to draw for a couple of days a little bit. I redid  the first neck muscle shading. I still need practice on the shading! And I drew the neck muscles in 3 different positions.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful week...

Until next time,
~Kirsten

My Art Journey From My Mind Update #12

TGIF!

This week I memorized the "mannequin" and learned neck muscles! I still need work on my shading with pencils but I think I am a tad bit better at it.

The mannequin front and back

The neck muscles

And then we did "surface anatomy" on the mannequin

Thanks for reading! 

Until next time,

My Art Journey From My Mind Update #11

I'm between jumping for joy and tears of joy. Yesterday I finished the section of the lesson videos #75 to #107 that I learned from 5/20-6/2 in 10 days! Took around 70 hours maybe more. I was learning from 3 to 5 hours in the day and 1 to 3 hours at night. Most weekends I don't get to draw except I did on 5/22 Saturday, but not this holiday weekend.  I've got to spend some time with the family, right? Lol

This is some of what I learned this week.
Head forms for shadow and light. The female face, and the mannequin system.

I'm off to memorize the head forms and the mannequin system before I continue on Monday to section 108 to 143. Woohoo!

Have an awesome weekend!!

Until next time,
~Kirsten
