E.D.A.H - Every Day An Hour

Did this one a bit in rush, could push it much further if I had nore time:

#3 is a pope and #6 is a teacher. those are the only two that i can read clearly. rest of them are vague and confusing.

class one is all about showing sex and age from silhouette. To show the sex and age, you need to focus on using hair shape, body shape, and dress shape.

class two is just like class one, except this time is about showing career.
something like this

this should be the right mind set:

  1. what career am I drawing?
  2. what’s the most obvious visual elements representing this carrer?
  3. How do I focus on those elements and carry them out through the simplest shape?

here are some good examples i found for careers:

Today’s practice. This time, I didn’t focus on the subject matter, just kept mixing colors to get the feel right, actually it was fun:

#126

Here’s a concept I did today. It’s Lilith (the demon).

Donglu-Little Fish: I really love your environments! Especially the colours… how do you go about your colour schemes?

#127

today’s practice:

PhoenixFlame: No special process for the color, once you determine the weather and the mood you want to express, the color palette will just come out itself.

now we are talking buddy. now we really are.
i was worried that you might get blocked. looks like you had a break through.
much better man, way better!

guys, help me out here:

  1. Doctor
  2. Cleaning lady
  3. Nun
  4. Electric welder
  5. secretary/office girl
  6. waiter
  7. miner/constructor
  8. this one i’m not sure
  9. officer (watch out that arm, it’s too thin)
  10. balley dancer
  11. some random street kid who’s name is simon :stuck_out_tongue: (i do have problem figuring out what this career is though)

i love the way you use white on the doc, nun and office girl. tomorrow i’d like to see you continue exploring your path. I’d also want to see a bit white on every character. Let’s see how well you can mix white and black to get a greater result.

i also want you to pay attention to proportions tomorrow. watch out for things like thickness of the arm, size of the hands. those are the basics that you should learn from the previous class. make sure you carry your knowledge to the next class all the time.

today’s class, big success!

All of them are pretty obvious, good work.

#132

Doctor, Cleaning lady(?), Nun, Welder, Teacher (Businesswoman), Waitor
Miner, Teacher, Carpenter, Ballerina, DJ

#133

Number 2 is an obvious cleaning lady, number 8 is not a teacher its a flight attendant, and number 9 as Jack said its an officier or a security guard…

#134

good job on yesterday’s update. everything was clear to me.
Now for today’s practice, I want you to give a bit more attention to proportion. some of your arms are too thin, some are too soft, some bends in the wrong angle or wrong place.

Exact Kev

i have problem read #2.

i like the proportion of #1 and #6. I extend class two a bit longer. this weekend i want you keep working on career. you will pay attention to what career has what bodyshape, exactally like what you did with #6. I want you to give it a push. chief can be fatter. football player definitely needs a bigger and strong upper body.

your class 3 will start next monday.

class two focuses on career silhouette. You are doing a good job clearly describing the careers. While enjoy watching your improvement in class two, I also realize some major issues from your works.

take a break tomorrow, I will write you a pm about your next focus. You need to move those roadblocks on your way before you can reach a new level.
