Life Drawing Media Demos
I did media demos in Life Drawing for Animation. Each of these was drawn/painted during a 10-minute pose by the model.
This pose was first drawn with a black crayon and then tone was added with a series of gouache washes. Sidenote: Yes, "crayon" means Crayola crayon. I really like sketching with them especially when drawing from the model. They act like a charcoal without the mess and its easy to add a wet on top without smearing everything. They're cheap too! I usually pick up a couple of boxes of crayons for a few dollars after the back-to-school clearance sales in September and then edit those down to a set that is nothing but black, white, grays, browns, ochers, tans, and indian reds.
I really like how the face turned out, so here's a close-up.
This small profile was drawn with a colored pencil and toned with gouache washes.
This was first drawn with a watercolor pencil and then gouache washes were added on top. I really had to scrub with the brush for the lines to bleed (look at the line under the arm for example) so I wasn't thrilled with this certain brand of watercolor pencil. I do like how the face and the tone turned out so it all worked out in the end.
