Figure Drawing: Maya Edition!

I just got back home from the first ever SHM figure drawing maya edition session where we reference a live model and then pose malcolm in Maya. We started with some 1 minute poses, then 5 min, then 10 min poses. Obviously, I couldn't do any of the 1 minute poses so I just drew quick gestures in my sketchbook. For the 5's I really tried, but it was so hard to get the pose down so quick. I got the main spine pose but the hands and face remained default (sad pancake hands). The 10's were really awesome, just enough time to get the macro pose down including some face posing and hands. As time went on, I got a little faster at posing the body. This was a really neat exercise, I can see this helping to speed up my blocking process. Hopefully next years officers will continue this.

Anywayssss.... I was able to quickly render some screenshots out with some lighting but no shadows. So, without further ado, my poses!

5 min poses!

ANI 129b -- Seated Poses

Yes, so I am taking ANI 129b this semester which is advanced maya animation. One of our homework assignments was to pose our character in 5 different seated positions. It was the first time I ever posed "Eleven" and so I spent a lot of time on the first 2 poses. As time went on I got quicker and it became really fun! I am so happy I did this assignment. I learned a lot and it's only going to make me a better animator. I'm so psyched for this class!

Here are my poses I literally just finished in no particular order:
