When drawing this
bird I learnt the basic principles of drawing non-human anatomy which was focusing
on the fundamentals. These include things like: posture, pose, balance and
weight and muscles, as well as different static and dynamic elements in pose and
movement.
In this situation
I have chosen a bird because there are some subjects that can be
tricky and so it made sense to start with something simple. Even though it is a
bird, it is still very interesting to draw. Getting the proportions correct is a
hard part. An example of this is accurate proportion such as getting the legs right when comparing them to
the size of the body, wings and beak when comparing to the real
model. There are also certain things like the tail in creating an effect to
show feathers. In this drawing of the bird there are not really any dynamic movements to show as the bird is standing up
straight on a branch. Other things such as the weight are very clear in the image;
this is when you look at the bird you can see small and skinny legs supporting
a larger body. This means you can tell that the bird is small but is very
lightweight.
The posture of the bird was important because it had to have the smooth lines and look of the real model. This was a very good drawing for my first try at non-human anatomy. Overall I enjoyed drawing this because learning about the pose and posture as well as balance and weight I will be able to show this in future work that I am going to produce.
