Life Drawing #2

-

To start off this weeks life drawing we did a series of sketches revolving around having a set amount of time consisting from 1 minuet to 20 seconds. Below I mainly focused on capturing the curves and contours of the models body and focused not so much on the finer details of the bodies forms but more on the fluidity of lines in the models frame.



From there I did a 30 Minuet sitting of the model in a seated pose. With this I found it tricky to capture the correct angles of the body, but through iterating the position a few times I was able to get my head around where the leading body lines lie and and get to a position where I had something similar the pose I was replicating.


Unfortunately,  I had to leave earlier than I intended, but felt that I needed to get into the swing of drawing people again. So found  a few similar poses our life model would have carried out and replicated those in photoshop, leaving all the sketch lines and mistakes that you would have seen in a sketch book to show my working.

In Field's Paradigm, he lays out the Acts and their structure of what happens and when. Exposition - introduced to the film’s main character(s) and situation. Inciting Incident -   Complication/ incident that sets events into motion. End of Act 1 : Plot Point 1 -The event in which the character takes on the central problem. Mid-Point (Act 2) - The main character faces increasingly intense and complex problems / obstacles. End of Act 2 : Plot Point 2 - Is li

Figure 1: Kong Film Poster. The creative force that is King Kong (1933) was directed and produced by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack and written by the visionary minds of James Ashmore Creelman and Ruth Rose.   Devised from the ideology of beauty and the beast, it shows Kong to lose sense of the world around him in order to ‘protect’ Ann (Fay Wray), who throughout the film since after meeting Kong is clearly distressed and anxious of Kong’s possessive tendencies. Forming a whirlwind of cinematography as it “plunders every trick in the book to create its illusions” (Ebert, 2002) for the audiences at the time of its release date. ( Figure 1 ). Figure 2: Ann kidnapped by tribes' people. At the time of King Kong’s (1933) release America was at the peak of the Great Depression (1929-1939), most citizens were unemployed and some even left homeless due to companies going out of business. So, for Hollywood to put out the blockbuster King Kong (1933) it
