Scale Figures

HobbesArt
One thing I like about this picture is that the artist says that in reality, the sketch is only about two inches high. It is great that he can get so much detail in such a small, small space and convey the idea of a much larger image. I think that his lines show a lot of thought, observation and skill.

I chose this image because although it is a gesture drawing of a person, the intent is to capture the rhythm of the movement and position of the person and not to actually represent a person.

The main way that I judge whether or not I like a person's work is if I look at a piece and can tell myself that I would still like it if I had done it myself. These figures are simple and fairly generic but I admire them any way. There is a strong sense of masculinity and an image of a Hollister display comes to mind. I love the linework in the jeans.





Cindy Woods
What I like about these drawings is how similar they are to a wire sculpture. Woods used thought out, clean lines and ended up with a nice figure drawing. In high school, I had developed a drawing style very similar to this and I enjoyed the similarities.

This stood out to me because we had done a similar exercise with Nadia last semester. I love a good cross-contour when I see one and I really like how this artist applied the technique to a human figure.
