Watching the Winter Olympics
I wanted to try sketching some of the winter Olympics. It's not as easy as I thought. The athletes move with the speed of light, and the cameras keep changing angles and never going back to the same pose. I tried first with the figure skating, and that was impossible. Then I tried downhill skiing, same thing. But I got the idea to do ski jumping when I realized that there were only a few angles that the cameras always went back to. It worked! The speed skating worked out reasonably well too. The snowboarding was tricky. I had to watch a lot of runs to get what I had in mind. I only did a few, because it was sort of frustrating waiting for a good pose, and waiting for it to recur.

You nailed the poses of the ski jumpers, the speed skater and the snowboarder. They do move very fast. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joan. I had to watch an awful lot of them.
