IPad Doodle Blog - The Bean - Dec 12th 2019

Work In Progress / 20 January 2020

Hey People!

Its that time again, only this time I actually had a better day with the speedy beans. By now, I'm sure you are all sick of Beans but trust me its good that I am ironing out the bugs and investing time in the construction of the bodies central masses. This is probably my most favourite quick fire bean series to date (IMG 1/2), a good range of dynamism that can actually be seen in some of the poses. It's not a perfect hit but you can see the shapes in some of them. When we consider what my earlier attempts were like this is a much better improvement. I have also been placing the folds in more accurate spaces which is increasing my confidence.

(IMG 1 - 45 Sec - 12/12/2019) Various Beans from Female Pose Series Tests 33 - "Good lines/flow C has good tilt, F is weakest"

(IMG 2 - 45 Sec - 12/12/2019) Various Beans from Female Pose Series Tests 34 - "Good twist and flow J is my Fav"

(IMG 3 - 5 Min - 12/12/2019) Gesture/Bean - "Bottom shape should be below and to the right"

(IMG 4 - 5 Min - 12/12/2019) Gesture/Bean - "Much better, good legs/ face is turned too far back"

For my later efforts (IMG 3/4) I opted for the same pose but at different angles so I could get a better understanding as things moved forward. I think the issues I faced I fixed in the second pose possibly because I knew what to expect in the second 5 minute stretch. Things are still messy and Proko does better sketches then this in 2 minutes but in terms of my personal development a few months ago this wouldn't have even been possible in an hour without thousands of tweaks to get the basic form down. Even then I don't think it would have been anatomically accurate and would have faced further hurdles with more details. Lets keep the upward momentum!

Later guys!

Over & Out,
