Life Drawing: 21st November Week 8

1 Minute Drawings:

There are some warm up sketches, again I use a lot of curves as I find this the easiest way to capture the pose.

2 Minute Drawings:

Here we were exploring the concept of 'drawing across the body'. First I identified where the weight was being spread across the body, form shoulder, to hip, to knee, to feet. When drawing I lightly drew a zigzag line across the page to get a rough idea of direction the weight was going in. From there I drew in the pose. I felt that this helped me push the pose, giving the pose a real sense of weight and keeping it in proportion. 

30 Second Line of Action Drawings:

These are an improvement on the previous weeks. I can capture the pose in a few lines and give it some level of weight or stance. These still aren't my strongest drawings and prefer 1 minute sketches as I can collect more information and draw it in a way which is easier to understand.

15 Minute Drawings:

I started of these drawings buy lightly drawing across the body, and lightly indicating the form using convex and concave curves. After which I started to build up the line to show weight and kept drawing the forces going across the body and not focus on the out line. The shading came last one I was happy with the proportions. Using the techniques I've learnt in the past weeks I drew this figure with more confidence, especially in regard to proportion, than before i started.
