Final lesson 4 post for now

Ok, I've attempted every lesson 4 drawing once. That'll do for now.

Onto Lesson 5.

More

Some more full body construction. I occasionally check my construcion and accuracy as I go (via comparing to scale side by side and overlays). Hope that's a good idea. This first one was done on paper. Shame the head angle was so far off.

This next one was done really quick and without a lot of checking. I was burnt out with too much checking previously. I'm quite pleased with how accurate it was concidering.

This one's pretty good. I didn't put construction around the head or body or use a line of action. I just forgot to for some reason.

Bugs using a head height grid. I did put the construction in this time and you can see how I used other lines to check the hight of other parts.

Here's bugs's construction. Naturally, it was all the vertical parts that were off (concidering how much horizontal checking there was).

One Rabbit done

A bit tired now. Might comment on this later, but here it is:

Changes to the line of action

I've started to attempt the full model bunny and noticed something. The line of action Preston starts with gets reworked as he builds up the model. I started with a line of action based on step one (which I checked with an overlay for accuracy) and couldn't get it to fit right in step three.

 Although the negative space between the line and the left side looked about right (on mine in red), the line seemed to poke out more. Also the horizontal distance between the shoulder and bum was practically zero on my model but it was out a fair bit on Preston's step 3.

I guess the lesson in this is no to be set in stone by the first rough line of action. You rework it based on what looks right as you go. I'll base my future copied LOA's on the built up models.
