I thought this could be an interesting experiment. Below, I have images taken from old (very old in some cases) sketchbooks of mine when I was a student. Some are from undergrad classes and some are classes I took while attending grad school here at MCA (I won't say which are which). Some are from drawing classes and some are not. So, when you get your sketchbooks back from me, they will have a grade and a bunch of comments written on the first blank page after your work in them stops. Read through your comments and then feel free to browse through my old sketchbook pages here and see if I practiced then what I'm preaching to you now. Then, feel free to critique by posting a comment. It's your turn now. My feelings aren't going to be hurt. So, anything you see that needs to be criticized, praised, or taken out into the street and flogged, point it out without fear.
I love your big girls. I too like bigger rather than smaller. It's better. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that is a great series of photographs by Leonard Nimoy (of Star Trek fame). He's become a highly-acclaimed photographer now.
ReplyDeleteI'll wait for my sketchbook to give a firm critique but right now, I admire your experimentation and your amount of writing. In some places I feel proportions are off, however.
ReplyDeleteI like the amount of writing in your sketchbook, it correlates well with the amount of information and has a lot of drawing as well. You have some thumbnails of things, but it would be really cool to see more of your processing. Your values are working for you in most of these sketches, but you could do better linework in the future. Your experimenting is nice as well.
ReplyDeleteAh, Kaitlyn, good analysis. But, look out, you're beginning to sound like me. hahaha
