THURS. 4/26 Portraits continued

Keely Killeen

Students in the T/Th night class had another round of portrait drawing of their classmates. In the drawing above, value has been used very effectively to illustrate the planes of the face. The light to gray transitions across the forehead and brow as well as the cheeks identify the volume and depth of the bone structure. The tilted gesture adds to the emotion portrayed in the model's eyes. Light smudging in the background suggests a hint of depth and atmosphere.

WED. 4/25 Portraits continued

Anna De Torres

Students continued making portrait drawings of classmates. The primary objective in these drawings is to capture the proportions of the head and not likeness. Cartoons and caricatures can capture likeness without being proportional. Anna's drawing above holds the page well by rendering in large scale utilizing much of the image area. The portrait exhibits good attention to the proportions and structure of the "head",
I also gave the tentative list of drawings due in the final portfolio. The list is only partial/ up-to-date. DHR and homework will be due the final week of classes. The list is above in the menu bar.
