Life Drawing: 24th Oct Week 4

3 Minute Drawings:

Here are some warm up sketches where i have taken forward the curve technique I learnt in the pervious week. I can easily capture the pose and I don't work down one side of the body and then the other as i used to before, nor draw a static outline.

1 Minute Drawings:

I found these poses difficult to do using the curve technique, the poses came out to static and I felt that I couldn't capture them as well as the pervious week. However the lines are less overworked and the pose is still represented well enough. 

1 Minute Drawings: Pushing the Pose

There we had one minute to draw the pose and then redraw it exaggerating the stance. I found that the second drawing looked more realistic a representation of the pose and certainly capture the essence of it more than the first. Again with these drawings I was drawing form the shoulder to give lose fluid lines.

1 Minute Arrow Drawings:

There we practiced using arrows to present the 16 parts of the human figure and thus making the shape of the pose. The arrows indicate the direction the limb is pointing in. This helped me understand flow lines a little better and deconstruct the pose. 

1Minute Left Handed Drawings:

Here we used our left hand to try and loosen our strokes. we started off drawing an arrow drawing and then went to a full figure pose. It is difficult to judge my progress when using my left hand as the lines are messy but I still achieve a basic representation of the pose.

1 Minute Right Hand Drawings:

There we went back to the right hand but were told to maintain the fluidity we experienced with the left. I feel that these sketches capture the movement of the pose more than my first 1 minute drawings and have stronger and more defined lines.
