Life Drawing, Research and Theory 2

This class in life drawing, of a nude model, was very pleasant, with a more slender model and more of a conventional charcoal sketching style with an upheld easel. This exercise had it's share of challenges too, however, with a quick succession of poses struck that we had to sketch. This too immediately opened my eyes in appreciation whilst observing the various research pieces in the Lecture of Animation Theory that Magnus presented today.

Magnus's Lecture on research and Theory today was also just as enriched with ingenious visual art techniques for the budding young animator as last week's. This lecture moved onto the journey of the earliest animators' attempts at bringing life to their comic storyboards, such as Rotoscoping developed by Max Fletcher's Coco the Clown. Again, this session set a standard for the students in terms of the dedication required to move the hearts of the calibur of artists assessing work at this University.
