I can't believe it's been over a month since I announced this animation project. This has been a crazy amount of work and I hope it was worth it.
To anyone getting tired of their feed being filled with drawings of a naked art model, I'm sorry. Actually I'm not sorry. You can feel free to unfollow me! But whether you've enjoyed my series of Figure in Motion posts or not, it's time for me to move on to other things. After 30-something hours of work, between drawing and blogging about it, the project is complete.
Well... it's possible that there will be one or two future posts about the project. I plan on putting together a short "making of" video. But it's mostly done.
I purchased a set of photos of art model Anastasia from Pose Space. The set came with 24 photos of one pose going 360° around the model.
I've been working on my figure drawing a lot lately and I figured that drawing a single pose from that many angles would be great practice. Also, it would look really cool when put together as an animation!
...or I'll just bore you. Please don't leave out of boredom. Scroll down to the bottom of the post to see the animation if you're that impatient.
All of these photos were taken the day that the drawing was completed. The lighting is obviously inconsistent, so I reshot each frame in the same lighting once all of the drawings were finished.
I also shot myself in the foot by signing each picture, so I had to use the clone stamp tool in Photoshop to erase my signature. As if this project wasn't already enough work!
Finally, here is the animation (I wanted to preserve the quality, so you may need to give the GIF a minute to load):
...here's a version of the animation with the original photos. I like watching the signature dance around.
