Drawing my Dad

So, I asked my Dad to do various poses with certain expressions. I wanted to see if I could emulate these expressions and have the images to look like they came from the same person. I think that is what I find difficult, a character changing expressions or anticipation. My linear drawings are quite bold and are straight to the point, but my paintings are very suggestive. I like the suggestive-ness of these images and wonder if the paintings itself could lean into animation.

Texture vs Line

The original line drawing is simplistic but allows for suggestion, I wouldn’t say it’s flat – but, I find it difficult to understand a change of expression or the head at different angles. The painting allows for the imagery to have some depth and possible movement. I feel this would work as I really like this style and it might be refreshing to animate.

Life Drawing 001

Debaser Nib on Procreate, 2021

This was my first experience at online life drawing at CSM. It was a very new experience, at first I wasn’t fond of the structure of the sessions – as they were very long winded. Vanessa’s sessions were absolutely amazing and me to look at the line of action in movements. I would however, like a more realistic way of moving – so I could replicate that in my animations.
