Proportional Drawings
The above image is my first attempt at drawing the proportions of the human body. For a first attempt, I think I did pretty well but there are things that I would change about the image. Firstly, I would draw the feet again as I kinda gave up with the feet here and turned them into some kind of socks. Also, the size of the arms on both sides don’t match up all that well so I would like to fix that too. I would like to also make the character a little less muscular and fix the leg proportion since they are too short. To make this picture I used the 8 head measurement system although I messed up by forgetting one of the marks which is what made the proportions of the legs wrong.
For my second attempt at body proportion, I wanted to draw a person in clothes as my art piece for the assignment will be a person wearing clothes. I managed to improve on the actual proportion of the body as my first image was wrong. I feel like the body may be a little too wide for this image but I still feel like it is an improvement on my first one. To improve on this image I could use reference images to improve upon the detail on the clothes and face.
This image was my first attempt at doing the proportions of the human face. I used the circle method when drawing the face to mark out the approximate position of the eyes, nose and mouth. This made it easier to mark out where the rest of the parts of the face should go. After doing the basic parts of the face, I used the reference image below to add some detail to the face. I think that this turned out pretty well though I could still make improvements.
Instead of doing something different like I did for my body proportion second attempt, I decided to try and use the same reference image for my second face proportion image. I think I managed to make the face resemble the reference more then the first attempt and made the face a bit more symmetrical though not completely as that isn’t realistic.
Doing these proportion drawings has helped me to have a better understanding of how to draw the human body somewhat accurately and this will help me with my assignment since I intend to do a character design.
