Sketching and Drawing

For the sketching and drawing rotation we dived straight into location sketching, which is something I had not done before. When drawing people I found it much easier to draw them slightly stylized as there was almost not enough time to draw their realistic features. A lot of the characters I also had to partially draw from memory as they had already walked away. I tried some continuous line drawing which I think were effective for this exercise as you only focus on the key elements, rather than stressing over detail.

The drawing I decided to take further was actually my first drawing of a baby in a Grogu coat. I liked this drawing as I thought it had the most character and I immediately had ideas for a story. The child reminded me of Grogu in the way that he was cute looking, however was running around causing mischief. This led me making drawing showing how the child sees himself in Grogu and his father in Mando.

Analysis

Overall I really enjoyed this rotation. I have recently got into life drawing so having this rotation at this time was really suitable for me. Location drawing was really interesting and I enjoyed how it was less about thinking and more so just drawing what you see. I want to do more of that. As for my final piece I was worried about the lack of detail however I think it fits to the stylized characters. As the story is simple I wanted to reflect that through the drawing.
