Study of dancing man. 8/10/12

 In our life drawing class we were split into two groups. Group one would go down stairs for the first part of the lesson and concentrate on drawing a famous man dancing, it is rather embarrassing that i cannot remember his name really. Ron put on the movie and he paused on a certain performance so we could see the way the gentleman's body moved, where it twisted, the angles of the feet, shoulders and arms. I started off by drawing some really quick vague lines across the page so i could try and get the same proportions. I actually think the top line of the drawings above is quite successful, from studying at Farnham i feel like i have picked up so much, and before i honestly would not have thought that when people walk they walk with arks like a ball bounces. I actually got the arch for the head on the top row which i'm really happy with. The actor was spinning around and ended up pointing his left hand the air. I actually found it really interesting, when you watch a film sequence, you don't realise all of the angles and constant changes, it really opened up my eyes. Personally i think that i would prefer to animate animals so maybe it would be a good idea to record some natural history television programmes and some wild life documentary's and do the same task we did today in detail. This is something i could do for research when starting any animation!
