I am itching to get going on animation studies again, but the stuff John told me to order still isn't here. I'm gonna guess it'll be here either tomorrow or Tuesday.
Anyway, I'm sort of a newcomer to John's blog. So here's an older exercise I've taken a stab at.
The photos of this toy were from John's blog.
It frustrates me that I'm still not totally good with construction lines. It's not second nature yet. I mean, I can use them as guidelines, sure, but I'm not understanding the form in space well enough. I want a series of egg-like, oval-like and circle-like shapes that are transparent and have the construction lines drawn on. I was actually snooping through Easter stuff at Meijer the other day hoping to find a totally transparent egg I could buy and marker up.
I spent the most time revising this one out of the three I did (I will probably do more).
Goddamn, he's cute.
The shape of his muzzle is more flat on top than I drew it. I sort of invented a bulk on the bridge of his nose that isn't there. I also notice that I misjudged where the horizontal construction line goes and stretched the eyes down to meet it a little. I really don't have much commentary besides that I apparently can't get a consistent grasp on head construction.
Poor Jinx looks like he was punched in the muzzle and everything on his head was pushed to the upper right.
I am giving myself lame critiques. I don't think I'm going to get better until I practice away my construction line issues.
transparent eggs, that's a good idea.
