Some sketch from today. 15 min.

Observational drawing from here and there

Since I'm concentrating on 3D this year I have really tried to keep my observational drawing going.  I have noticed that when I perform to many mouse buttons clicks, my hand almost loses the easiness and flow of the movement on paper. I can see it especially during life drawing classes, when my arm is getting tired very quickly. There is something very therapeutic about using "real medium" and big formats. Maybe because body is engaged and the mind can rest.  I can see it in my levels of procrastination as well. My attention seems to drift away from the digital subject more often than form a blank sheet of A0 paper.

Blend shapes

This is the first time that I came close to bled shapes. I must  admit I had lots of fun doing this, mainly because of drawing, observation and modelling process. 


Great inspiration and resource for me, was the book: Facial Expression. A visual reference for Artists. by Mark Simon.

 Here is the research:

And the outcome:

Since the mood of the film 'Without a Soul' moves across two emotions - happiness and sadness  - facial expression are pretty limited.
