Below you will find the drawings I have done after using rough sketches of shapes to build up the object.

Week 1 –

My first drawing was a shark as can be seen below. This had to be constructed by ellipses and triangles. The ellipses were used for he main body of the shark and the triangles were used to give the shark its fins.

My next drawing was of a kangaroo. The whole structure of this drawing was used by ellipses due to the Kangaroo not having any sharp features.

The most challenging part about the tiger was making sure that the head was positioned correctly, it took a few attempts to make sure that it looked proportionate.

The butterfly was made from a thin ellipse and four triangles to make the wings, as the butterfly was not face on and straight, I could not do the triangles the same height and lengths. this made the effect that the butterfly is on an angle.

This bird was made from many circles however the beak and the feet of the bird were based on the triangles, this is because they have a sharper edge to them and do not require a rounded off look.

The seahorse, although having sharper edges on the outside of the body, did not require anything other than a circle structure. This is because these sharper edges can be seen as small details and do not need much attention in the main body creation.

The last animal I drew was a giraffe, the neck was made from a long and thin rectangle, the head and body were ellipses, and the legs were made as triangles due to the thigh being thicker and the heel being slimmer.

Week 2 –

Perspective Drawings –

Drawing in perspective can give an object a more realistic look, by incorporating real angles that would be seen in every day life.

I have drawn two images, one of which is in 1 point perspective. In one point, all angles that make the object look 3D would go to one vanishing point.

1 Point Perspective –

However, 1 point perspective usually looks more cartoon and animated than what 2 point perspective looks like, this is because the angles that make the object look 3D are now going to both points. This also means that the only horizontal lines in the picture should be on the horizon line, and not used for giving the object depth.

2 Point Perspective –

shading in the picture can also enhance the objects depth, this is because the shading focuses on the lighting being used in the picture. So that the image feels real cause there is a light source.

Week 3 –

Muscles in the human body –

Above you can see two images that have been drawn over, both representing which way the strains act in the different muscles in the upper arm and chest.

Week 4 –

Animal Anatomy –

These drawings begin with getting a good knowledge of the animal’s body, knowing where muscles are and how they can affect the surface of the skin in the animal’s appearance.

The next two drawings helped me to understand about these muscles and the skeletal structures.

After getting a feel for the animals I began to move into actually drawing them as they appear.

After these few drawings I then decided to start adding precise details such as the shading and muscles of the animals.

Drawing with a time limit –

These drawings began with a 5 minute time limit to where we had to draw a pose and see how accurate we could be, however after a few poses the time length would be shortened by a minute, all until there was only a minute left to get the drawing as accurate as possible.
