Extra Credit


This is a design by an artist named Josh Rodes from this site nib101.com This image shows a cool mixture of movement and depth. Looking at the picture, we seem to be viewing it from an implied angle where the legs and the lower torso appear closest to us and then as you look further up to the top of the body and the head, it appears to recede into the top distance. It looks like it's moving because it is in a mid-running position. One foot is completely off the ground while the other has barely set foot on the ground. You can also see that the foot on the right has caused some friction with the ground creating this splatter of grass and mud where his right foot touches the ground. There seems to be a wind implied by the dashing lines going from right to left (picture-wise) as well as a few strands of hair that hangs on to the head and trailing in light waves in the wind. ANd if this were really a moving strip of film, you can probably perceive the shift of light and tones on his body as he runs
