Park Bench Exercise - Stepped Poses 01

As the term progresses we're our 3D animation classes are moving more towards the acting side of things which is nice. Our first larger exercise in this is the Park Bench Exercise.

The exercise must involve two characters interacting with each other whilst one of the characters is listening to headphones. We then invent a scenario and pose it all out in stepped mode until the story comes across.

Below is what i've managed to do so far. It could do with a couple more poses here and there but at the moment I think it works quite well.

Life Drawing Class - 01 Forceful Drawing

First class of year 2 begins with some life drawing tutored by Frank Victoria and Kevin Molloy. We are looking at the forces involved in a pose and learning how to see and illustrate those forces.

The session consisted of mostly 5-10 minute poses with a couple longer 20 minute poses towards the end.
