Life Drawing

These first two drawings where done on the first week of term, the First drawing is sixteen mini drawings of a character moving about, this was different body poses at different angles.  All of them where linked with the fact it was showing how the person progressed over these different frames. This helped when thinking about how to quickly observe someone in motion and how fast you can make them look.

The second image is an hour drawing, the biggest problem I had with this piece was creating the foot and the elbow.  I liked how I was able to get the back shadows to really help his back stand out, if I had more time I'd fix the foot so it's not so squarish.

These next two where very different from all the previous life drawing sessions, because we had a female life model.  The first drawing is a character sheet style drawing, we where given 15 minutes each to create, my biggest problem with this piece was that because I'd drawn male's for so long, it was difficult to adjust to getting a female anatomy, so if I could improve, I'd try to make the design more female.  

The second drawing is another hour drawing, I was using chalk to bring out the highlights, while using pencil for the shadows, during the process, I changed the anatomy a few times to get it right. I'm not very good with chalk, so at times I found it difficult, areas to improve would be finishing it, and the left leg.

This as the last life drawing session I had, I was given 2 hours to draw the person, and we did it outside for a change.  I was allowed to use whatever drawing materials I wanted, I chose pencil because it's my comfort tool, I prefer working with shading pencils because of my traditional background.  I really went for the facial details as best as possible but I could have done better with the nose. Things I could improve upon, if I had more time I would have been able to finish the log he was sitting on and give more of a background to him, I also feel as though shading could be done better. But other than that I am happy with what I produced.
