Below are the usual 1 minute warm ups. Feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it a bit better now. This week our homework was to practice drawing Madam Mim from Sword in the Stone. There is no underlying structure available to look at for Mim-what her body is like under her big poofy dress, so I had to kind of improvise. (Drawings I did as homework shown below) In class we where to do the same thing we did last week- use the models pose then draw the character from it. Mim is really short so I wasn't sure about drawing her legs and you also can't see her legs anyway under the dress so it confused me a bit. Because I really struggled drawing her without some sort of reference Michael was able to show me how he pictured her body type and structure under what she was wearing. So based off what he showed me I'm going to try do some more drawings of her.

1 minute warm ups- I think I'm starting to improve a bit. I've tried adding more stucture to how I draw by using the circles and lines as a rough layout then going over with more shape.
I ended up looking at this part of the 'Sketch Workshop Characters' book (labled below). It showed how you can draw the basic structure/pose of your character and then draw any body type over the top of it. So I used this method to retry and draw Dirk in different poses.
This week was more of a simple class. We started with the usual 1 minute warm ups then moved on the drawing the model in a really short space of time. We started with quick 30 second drawings which eventually went down to 10 seconds. I actually drew the structure this time for the fast drawings because I had to get the shape down as fast as I could. For the 1 minute studies I feel I was being a bit lazy but I picked up the quality with the faster sketches.
A chair appears in the room.. oh..no. This week we had to draw the model posing with a chair. First we did a few 1 minute studies for a warm up then moved on to do a drawing of the models face- from where I was standing I was looking at the model from an angle- I wasn't getting the perspective right but Michael was able to show me how, by using a cube, I could draw the face inside, sticking to the same perspective angle the cube was at. I tried a couple attempts and kind of confused myself so I drew some more versions at home as practice. I was able to use a reference sheet Michael provided us as well which was extremely useful.
