So I've been back to school for almost a month now and I'm finally getting around to posting some of the stuff I've been doing. This is from my second week of character design class with Michael Buffington. The format of how our class works is we have a model which we do many many short sketches of (usually 3 to 5 minute sketches). Buffington stresses for us to "not be a slave to the model/reference" and push the pose, and not just draw the model in the costume that we see in front of us. This week we had an awesome female model which made me super happy since I struggled the previous week doing quick drawings with a male model. Mixed in with the drawing we do some lecturing on various topics such as the differences between men and women and how to make the race of your character quick and easy to read. For homework each week we are assigned an artist which we are meant to emulate and make 10 heads and 4 full figures in their style using references. For our first homework we were assigned Phil Bourassa. My critique was that it was very close and that I had a good ability to analyze the style but it was just slightly off and more Bruce Timm like. Also my line work is obviously not the best. But as I was one of two people who received a good critique I was happy. The refences I used for this week all came from searching various stock images on deviantart.
