Week 4 was concentrated on
foreshortening drawings with sharp/oblique angles. Foreshortening is a great
effect to learn but can be tricky to get used to, since you are drawing the
object as expected in 3D space by compressing the length to give it a sharper
and more dramatic look. Using oblique angles also helps to give this effect as
it is much harder to draw an object at a slightly offset 90° angle. By doing
this was challenging, to achieve this effect with no mistakes or rough drawings
is extremely difficult without a lot of practice.
Above is an attempt of two
anatomy skeletons which were placed in such a way that to draw them
foreshortening and the oblique angles would have to be used. This is an obvious
observation mainly for the distant skeleton within the drawing. It is clear
that it has been compressed to try and capture the exact angle it was viewed
from, whilst still trying to keep realistic proportions. Looking back at this
drawing it is now clear that the rib cage seems to be too large for the distant
skeleton as it almost takes up most of the drawing and seems to be massively
out of proportion. The second skeleton which is closer was simply added to show
why some areas of the first were not drawn and also to show just how distant
the first skeleton was. (55 minutes)
