Hm, todays stuff looks strangely distorted(more than previous stuff). I should probably reconsider what I said earlier and hit the books about construction again, as EyeCraft suggested.
Week 2, Day 1:
Nevertheless you've inspired me to take a sketch pad with me on the bus ride down the coast!
Forgot to mention in my previous post: Please share your results and your experience(peoples reactions, etc.)!
append: (tuesday)This day was a bit slow. I tried a more constructive approach in the morning (the two rightmost heads) but they still seem distorted (need to study that Loomis book some more). Also still my old problem that the pretty girls always end up looking old and kind of weird (the third one from the left was actually very beautiful with a tender face but I failed to capture that (nose is too wide and the foreshortening needs to be reworked)).
In the evening disaster struck as the train was so crowded that I couldn't find a seat and I even waited for another train which was just as crowded as the first one. So I had to limit myself to observation and then later tried to draw the two heads on the left from imagination (nope, again failed to capture their likeness, the only thing the guy in my head has in common with the one on the paper is the glasses and the woman, well the woman I saw had an ear pin too but that's about it)...
Week 2, Day 2:
append 2: (wednesday)Today was the exact opposite of yesterday, train was almost completely empty.
Week 2, Day 3:
append 3: (thursday)Did not draw anything this morning as I was too tired but by the time I was on my way home again my brain was swimming in caffeine.
The man on right was drawn on the subway but I think he noticed me drawing him (and made an angry face at me and then left... doh).
The woman in the middle and the man on the left were constructed at home from imagination. The woman sat very far away from me and I couldn't finish her while still on the train, because she left too early just after I had put in the base shapes for her head.
The man on the left was sitting on a bench outside of the subway and I only had a very short glimpse at him as I walked by but he turned out looking pretty close to what I think I saw (80% beard and hair).
Week 2, Day 4:
append 4 (fridays output)Half imagination/construction, half from life. People keep leaving too often/soon.
