homework 3 (deadline monday oct 29)

[steve kim]

this assignment is a gut check basically. this is your chance to impress me with a lot of hard work.

#1. finish all previous assignments if not done already in the proper format. (a digital painting for a traditional drawing assignment is not the proper format :/)

if and only if the previous homework is done:

#2a. decide on something you want to improve on (it can be anything you feel strongly about). do at least two good, thorough, finished as best you can studies. if you want to improve on your anatomy maybe it's anatomy copies, or master copies, or something totally different.

#2b. state how what you are doing, why you're doing it, and why you think it will be an effective way of learning/improving.

#2c. post any extra research or supplementary work/images/etc.

#2d. if you have lots of stuff in the end, specify which TWO items you want critiqued.

#2e. again, in terms of the amount of work expected... do what you would consider to be a 'lot', what you would consider to be a 'big effort'.

#2f. feel free to post in-progress things, questions about your approach in your respective threads. i'll guide people as best as i can.

if you need/feel compelled to bail out, now would be the time. but since you have nearly three weeks i don't see why it should be a problem.

again, you have almost 3 weeks for this. either everything is done by then or it ain't!

" if you want to improve on your anatomy maybe it's anatomy copies, or master copies, or something totally different. "

ar.. what do u mean by anatomy copies and master copies ??
is it i can copy other or create my own ?

[steve kim]

well it's up to you. it could be straight anatomy copies, particularly if you're drawing isn't so hot.

or it could be something like looking at the reference, then say trying to drop it in perspective, or using it in a figure in perspective.

pretend this class ended today. what would you do? what are the things you'd do to teach what you want to learn? even if you're in school, or going to school this kind of thing is extremely important and essentially never stops.

so ask yourself, 'whats the best, most effecient way to learn anatomy'... if that's really what you want to learn.
