Port Dover!

Went to Port Dover yesterday with Aaron and I decided I should get my ass in gear and do some doodling for once.

P.S It was my first time to Port Dover, first time at an actual beach and doing beach things ( I don't count haphazard visits) and well it wasn't exciting. It was a nice relaxing day but haha I wish we had some friends come along might have been more fun, or we didn't forget a ball or something. Not saying the experience was bad! But I realized the beach is super super chill. Minus the idiots that are too loud.

Anyways, here was the cutest couple I saw on the beach:

I gave them the drawing, only realizing 20 minutes later I forgot to finish the hand xD I didn't ask for it back but yeah.... I missed that.. oops.

I also seem to be getting into a style of drawing for animation. It's much more distinct now, especially hair styles.

Did some other sketches, lol I really enjoyed drawing the chubbier woman.

Perspective is hard, but I like the top woman's feet as just shadows.

 So as you can see the first session is made up of mostly 3's and 5's. I've been having a real hard time with 30's and 1's but something sparked right after. I enjoyed the feel of the line more. Here is what I got!

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to talk with Mark during class so I don't know what I could have done to improve in the second half the class. But I think this was a pretty successful class none the less, everything was just flowing out nicely. I actually really enjoyed drawing a fuller model this time. I was so much more aware of the proportions, and not making mistakes as over elongating the legs or something like that I was focuses on see the form and trying to make the flesh look soft and real versus sculpting the c model out of paper.

It's quite fun. When I go to add in the times to each drawing I think no that can't be 30 seconds there's a lot in there, but I look at the paper and it is. So biggest improvement? Ditching the mannequin feel with key joint drawing; less skeletal. Nice to have improvement? Speed, I draw so much faster and can read lines much more quickly. It's pretty fun watching myself grow week to week in these photos.
