Week 09 - Life Drawing

First off we did five 3 minute  poses. I arrived a little late so didn't have time to start the first one.

We looked at perspective in this session. There were some pieces of paper on the floor around the model which we could use to help find the horizon line and vanishing point. Unfortunately I didn't use these and went straight in to drawing the figure with just a basic idea of where the horizon line was. I added the paper after but found it much much harder this way round.

In the next pose I very lightly sketched the paper on the floor (though you can't see it clearly in this photo). Using pencils made it much neater and more accurate, though this also means it takes more time to draw.

In this picture you can see the lines better. I'm actually quite with this as it is very accurate. My usual problem is placing the feet and proportions as I can't always tell where I should be drawing parts.

Next we drew around the figures and added the detail to the rest of the room. This was a lot of fun and a good way to quickly understand perspective.

Lastly we were allowed to do whatever we wanted. As I hadn't used a felt tip before but had seen others use it, I decided to have a go.

I wasn't feeling very good and couldn't bring myself to add much detail as I usually do so this was a great way to very roughly draw the body.
