Students learn basic anatomy and will begin to develop an understanding of the way a figure inhabits space; thus able to successfully reproduce this space in two dimensions. The goal of the course is to learn academic, realistic representation of the figure: Emphasis will be on accurately rendering the figure on the page in proper proportion. Students work up to developing a personal style within the confines of academic figurative art.
I love the feel of these pieces. You really captured that storybook/mythological vibe. I love the smooth mark making you used, and also your composition works well as a series with your master copy.
I love how you used negative space in your piece. I think that you were very successful as to how you recreated your copy. The value is really amazing and clean and I like how you don't have too many hard lines.
Taking the graphic artist route was totally awesome! I loved the strange use of negative and positive space in the master work and your original piece. The waves in you model's hair mimic the wispy-ness of the raven's feathers. Adding a slightly darker gradient to the background of your original piece could fill some of the vastness of the empty space.
I love your master study so much more than the copy, which was still done really well. The figure in the study is extremely detailed and the smoke design is absolutely amazing. The values and form in both are great.
I love the composition of your version of the master way more than the master copy I think yours is more interesting. I think you captured the magic of the essence of the master copy very well
Both of these drawings are incredibly technical while still very emotive and expressive. Your study is a real embodiment of this idea, much more so than the copy in my opinion. When i saw this in class, i thought it would be interesting to darken the background of the study just a hair to make the figure's shirt really pop, but now i don't really think that would be necessary, the shirt seems to pop anyway just because of the surrounding darks. You're clearly a master of charcoal, it would be interesting to see these in a paint medium.
I think both of these works are amazing. I couldn't tell the master from original and I love the imagination and dreamlike quality present in both. Sorry I can't put anything more constructive, I was just really drawn to these pieces and don't know if anything needs to be changed.
Both pieces are extremely successful and definitely work together. The values in both pieces are on point along with the contrast presented in both images. There is a strong sense of emotion and presence also in each work.
I love the artist you choose to copy. Both pieces are whimsical and tell a story. I like your use of like and the high contrast of value. I love the negative space in your master study. You are a wonderful artist.
The master copy and study work really well as a pair because of their wispy mark making techniques and the feathers in both works. Great use of value scale, and the clean lines, lights and highlights work great for the images. I actually prefer the master study to the master copy.
Nice copy. Good use of value according to weber’s intent. Nice composition. Smoke and feathers give it that nice mystical nature. Mark making very similar.
I think that you were able to master both the aesthetic and the mark-making style of the master artists. Your study just blows me away.

ReplyDeleteBoth pieces were very well done. I like the use of white space in the study and I think compositionally it was more effective than the copy. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI thought these pieces were absolutely beautiful! Very nice mark-making techniques. I agree with Cyra about your use of negative space. Nicely done!
