Bones

After a week in California without internet I am anxious to finish posting all the pieces from my figure drawing class. This was done on the first and second class periods and took somewhere around 4 or 5 hours. The background was shaded at a later date and probably added another hour or two, I have been liking the use of small straight lines going in different directions to create not only the tone, but also some texture. I think it turned out well, and gave me confidence in my drawing ability, of which I was worried about not being able to compete with the rest of the intermediate drawing students. I think I held my own.

Liboon!

Our first project in life drawing was to take two animals skeletons and fuse them together (or take an existing animals skeleton and draw its skeletal or muscular system as an overlay to an Illustration of that animal).

I chose to take a baboon head and stick it on a lion. Hence Liboon!... so clever!

I kept most of the cats structure true to form, its in the shoulder, neck, and head that I morphed the baboon in.
