Rib Cage fun!!! -.-

Last week we learned more about body structure and mostly the Rib Cage. I've gotten better at my cross-contour drawings, I've even gotten compliments from a couple of my peers. So that was mood-boosting. I honestly can't remember all of what we did on Tuesday... I just remember doing cross-contour and more short exercises with the model. Below is my cross-contour from that day.


On Thursday we went over the rib cage. In concept it seemed not that difficult. Make an egg shape where the ribcage sits in the body. Holy cow it was a -lot- hard than I anticipated! I had an extremely hard time trying to get the shape down right and the perpective down on which way it was sitting in the chest! I learned a lot in this class period but it is definitely something I really need to work on. We did many 30 second sketches and a few longer ones. We had 30 minutes to work on a cross contour. I don't have a lot to show for it because I spent almost all of that time just trying to get the perspective down. I almost got it on the 4th try when Amy came over to my rescue!


I'm have a heck of a time trying to produce 300 words for each blog... I'll just end it with this I guess: I'm really enjoying this class and am getting a lot out of it for it being only the first month. I can't wait to learn more! My cross-contours are getting better but I need to work a lot on the ribcage now!
