Creating Simple Characters with Nelleke Verhoeff
I want to work on bodies/poses for all the faces I’ve drawn over the
years. To develop characters: full bodied, fleshed out characters. I seem to
have trouble with that. I don’t know why I do and I thought this class might
loosen me up and help get me over the hump as it were…..
Turns out it’s making me tighter and more conscious of the fact that I suck at it! LOL
So…..in typical Robin fashion, I decided to do my own thing albeit with the
lessons in the back of my mind. I mean,
as my mother used to say, “Why reinvent the wheel?”
So I’m using the bits and bobs from the PDF’s I shared a while ago and
mixing it up with collage and ‘finessing’ it digitally.
I FINALLY came up with a few that don’t suck and actually made me laugh.
I figure if I laugh or smile it’s not a total loss, right?
It’s a beginning anyway…..
I lift my hat with respect! I'm too lazy to learn anything new, but you take classes after classes!
ReplyDeleteYour figures are hilarious and also the texts!!!
I think we've talked about taking some of these classes and end up being a clone of the instructor. It's good to find your own voice, and I think you did that magnificently. You have a wonderful, whimsical and quirky style. Don't lose that.
