Life Drawing Week 1

 These are my three sheets of life drawings. The first were quick 30 second - 1 minute drawings. I found them a little difficult as mistakes I made couldn't be fixed within the time given. although i think that that wouldn't be much of a problem if i used softer pencils.  

This sketch was all about capturing the space around the model. 

I enjoyed doing this sketch the most, as there was more time to add shadows and detail, and therefore make her look a little more three dimentional.

Chosen Structure

Here is the developed version of the floating building design, which i played around in photoshop with by adding some lighting and a brick pattern. Think i'll stick with this for my final design, and maybe add a background later on. 

Chosen Machine

I've chosen this machine out of the two; I thought that it had the most personality out of the four. The empty screen, long arms and legs I think make the overall design a little unsettling..I've tried to give the machine a skeleton - ribs, arms, legs and body. I would like to carry on working on this design through photoshop and develop the overall image by tidying it up, and including a background.  it looks like he belongs in a large robotic warehouse.

The design in the top left is a rough idea of what would be reflected off of its metal body. 

Life Forms

Here are some designs for lifeforms, i quite liked the bug designs. the spider/fly creature in the middle was my favourite, i decided to detail that one a little more. (below)

i carried on using pencil for this creature, and had a go at adjusting it in photoshop. 

Some Structures

Here are a few structure ideas, taken from the earlier sketches. I got a bit stuck on these, so they are a little rushed. I think ill try and develop the floating balloon structure.
