DH27: Final Still Life

10:50 Morning Break (10 minutes)
11:00 Critiques
Each week we will upload our work on Monday as a class. I will then present your work to the class. Every week we will pick a new student to proactive giving constructive criticism. Constructive criticism is a type of feedback that offers specific and actionable advice to help employees to improve. In the professional setting we need to be to talk professionally about the work, even if you don’t “love” the person who created it.
If selected, you will pick 1 thing that works, and 1 thing to improve upon next time. Remember we are separating the Design from the Designer. We are looking for actionable input.
11:25 DH 28 Baseline Portrait
As you know our fourth quarter focus is on Portraits. Not only is this a classic sketch topic, but it is often requested by schools and employers to gage your mettle as a designer.
We are going to use the 4th Quarter to:
- Get a baseline Portrait – the red Before on the left, DH28.
- DH’s, work on individual elements and learn the basic ratios and proportions (nose, eye, laying out a face, etc)
- Create a final Portrait – the green on the right, our final DH.
There is zero chance you go from the before to the after above – but if you work hard and apply youself you will get better. So much of this is practice. Non-rushed practice.
So rotate your paper to PORTRAIT orientation and draw a human, realistic, portrait from the shoulders up – as in the Taylor Swift example above. Don’t spend time on torso or even neck, the face is the focus.
Notice I said human, realistic. We have heard from colleges that they do not want to see anime, or other character design styles. Full human realism.
