Week 9 Sketch Dump




Various life drawing.  Pretty sure I'm getting worse - Not really happy with any of these and I decided against posting the worst ones on here.  In the first image the 1 and 2 min drawings look way too lumpy and careless (granted those poses are always warm ups) and in the last image the 1 minute poses look far too stiff. I quite like how the style of the 5 minute drawing turned out however - I'm quite pleased with how the subtle shading and minimal facial features turned out, however I completely messed up her left arm and shoulder and her other arm feels pretty off too.   


This was my interpretation of a Hungarian Horntail dragon from the Harry Potter franchise for a friend's creature design project.  He wanted a range of different artists to interpret the following description in their own way:

"Supposedly the most dangerous of all the dragon breeds, the Hungarian Horntail has black scales and is lizard-like in appearance. It has yellow eyes, bronze horns and similarly coloured spikes that protrude from its long tail. The Horntail has one of the longesr fire-breathing ranges (up to fifty feet). Its eggs are cement-coloured and particularly hard-shelled; the young club their way out using their tails, whose spikes are well developed at birth. The Hungarian Horntail feeds on goats, sheep and, whenever possible, humans."


I tried to focus on the lizard like qualities and was inspired by the build of komodo dragons.  Was a good opportunity to try out my copic markers too as I'm usually too nervous about rendering anything with them.  I added the figure in for height reference but wish I hadn't now as it kind of ruined the image as a whole.
