Weekly Workshop III

The title is a lie, since I haven't been able to get to the Wednesday night alumni workshop in almost a month. Great model, though - older folks have so much character!

First, some five minute poses...



These were all sports-themed, which reminds me of Kazu Sano's figure painting class, where we were supposed to turn the model into a full-fledged illustration. Maybe the second or third week, I painted up the model as a king from a deck of playing cards, with props and everything. Kazu stands there, scratching his head, and then asks "Okay, but why is he naked?"

The easy answer, of course, is "Because the model's naked," but that's not really narratively satisfying. So where these poses are concerned, let's just assume we're dealing with an athletic nudist. Ten minute poses are up next!



And finally, the return of iPod sketching. I think I'm getting the hang of the tools, now to work on the value and temperature range...

The nude athletes are obviously participating in the ancient olympics.
