So when we got our assignment on Thursday that we were going to start building muscles on our mannequin, I thought it would be relatively easy, just roll out some muscles and call it a day but,as it seems with most things lately, I was wrong. It took me about 3 hours to complete the muscles on the spine. I would begin by rolling out the clay the same way that brought me back to my childhood snake-making playdoh days, but then things go a little tougher when the clay had to go in a certain spot and be a certain size. Oh, how I love a challenge. My muscles never seemed to look right, they were too long or too thick. Who knows if even now, after all the work, if they are right. But I definitely can say I spent a lot of time on it.
In class, drawing the figure went better. I think the note taking session on how the spine works really helped. I feel better knowing the technical terms of the spine, it makes me feel smarter, which is a plus!
Below are two pictures. One is of my mannequin and the other is the drawing of a 15 minute pose.
