Portrait Painting: Module 13

This is the first two weeks pose of the portrait painting class. I am glade that I save it from the bad thing I did las week. She is really hard to paint because of her mixed blood look. Especially her eyes are not easy to catch.

Portrait Painting: Module 10

I finally painted something better in the classroom. I can't believe that I was that stupid to be trapped by my thought for that long......It was still unfinished, but at least I got the shape well. BTW, this is my third or forth time to paint this model. It is the most close one I paint.

Situation & Environment: In Class Practice 2

This is a 2 weeks pose painting. I learned something from painting it. Maybe it is always the most important thing. 

Situation & Environment: In Class Practice 1

This is the first painting I finish in this class. What makes this class interesting is that I can learn a lot of important basic things of painting in this class. 

Portrait Painting: Module 3

Tomutsu told me that I did good job in this painting. Actually, I didn't know why. But I think it is true that I did really put my anger to this model in the painting. ( she was really unprofessional...>.<)

Portrait Painting: Module 2

I am glad that I come back to Tomutsu's class. He really teach more stuff than the other guy. Therefore, while he asked me why I transfers to his class, I answered him honestly, "Because you are a good teacher."

This is the first day I started to draw on a tone paper. The result is not that good. The reason is that I didn't use the value of tone paper well and put too much white on it.  I think I still need more practices with this new skill. (On the up-right conner is the practice of drawing ear.)

What I can say is, "This is not my drawing..." 

Mr. Tomutsu was not in the classroom in this afternoon. The reason surprised me. He had to see the doctor. Why did he has to see the doctor? It was because he got hit by a car!!!! In this morning, I noticed that he was lame. I thought that he just got sprain or some other small injuries and never thought that it was a car accident.  He said he was lucky, and had a strange experience. I believed that and hoped that I won't have the same experience forever....

Let's go Back to my drawing today!  Originally, I thought that it would became a easy day because Mr. Tomutsu wasn't there. 

Sustained Figurative Concepts：Module 4

Bill told us he wanted to grade today's work as a mid-term grade suddenly. This announcement made me draw this one very carefully. But the effect of color I used was not that good, I have to think about it later. Today, we drew two drawings by turns. One was Standing figure, and the other was head. I did my head drawing ugly. What I can say is that I really have to practice harder. 

Head Drawing：Module 4

It is getting better, today. When I started to use tissues to blend the charcoal pencil strokes, the annoying black spots disappeared. It seemed that it was easy to control the values. However, I was so frustrated about that the proportion of this drawing was still corrected by the teacher. This meant that I still repeated the same mistake. I hope that I won't do it again in my future drawings or paintings... 

Sustained Figurative Concepts：Module 3

"It's looking good!" was Bill's comment to the left painting, though I had no idea how it looked good.  Compare to his work, mine was so rough. And I didn't know how can he draw that intricate painting in that short time, especially with nupastel. But I learned something today. I started to see the green color on the reflect light. I heard the theory of painting.  I tried to keep these new things in my mind. That's why I am here. And that's why I enjoy every class I take here. Next Wednesday, I hope that I can still have my feeling about using nupastel.

Head Drawing：Module 3

I tried to follow the steps that our teacher taught us to draw the head today. However, It was not easy to give up all instinct and force myself to draw in a unfamiliar way. I had no idea why Mr.  Tomutsu came and ask about my drawing twice. Maybe he couldn't tolerate my ugly drawing today....:p In the afternoon, he came and did some demo on my drawing. So, That's what you see on the top. Actually, after he finished his demo. I had no idea how to continue my drawing. I felt that every stroke I made was a damage. I hope that I learned something from this demo. There is still lots of skills I have to catch...

Sustained Figurative Concepts：Module 2

It was my first time to use Nupastel for drawing. Actually, I didn't do it very well. Especially compare to other good ones, it was not even close. Because I draw the head too small, it made me hard to deal with face. But I found that it was really funny. I love the new technique of drawing people that our teacher taught today. I think what I have to do now is practice and practice. Yeah~ We are moving forward to the color world....

Head Drawing：Module 2

"Edge Control" is the most important lesson I learned today. I started to understand how and why we have to do it while we draw or paint. I am angry about why I took so long to know this important lesson, and waste two practices in class.  Besides, I still struggled with using charcoal pencils today. Though someone tell me that I did a good job on drawing this model, I still felt not that well. I  learned something today was a good thing. It meant that I can get progress next time. I hope that I really can have a good drawing next time.
