We began with five 3 minute drawings as usual. I was feeling quite rusty for some reason so I don't really like how these came out as I just couldn't seem to get the drawings right.
I also noticed that I was slouching a bit so even if this was my favourite drawing of the five, it was slightly wonky and leaning to the left.
Next was my least favourite part. We had to use two different medias, one in each hand, and draw the same thing on each side of the paper with both hands at the same time. This was so incredibly difficult and just couldn't focus.
As you can see, as I couldn't focus on either fully, it meant they both went terribly. The left one ended up being stretched sideways while the right one stretched vertically.
We then tried again, switching the media. It was slightly easier the second time but I still found it virtually impossible to do.
Once again they were stretched in opposite directions. I also pressed way too lightly with my left hand so you can't see the pen marks very well.
Next we got 30 minutes to draw a pose. The aim was to be as accurate as possible and as we had so much time, we didn't have to rush. Though I didn't finish it I think I did well making it accurate as I spent the time insuring what I was doing was good instead of just getting it done.
I used a 2H pencil to sketch out the basic shape and then went in to more details with softer pencils to make darker marks. I started by drawing a line down the back so that I could follow the flow and direction, which the model complemented me on later.
Next our focus was on the lighting and shading. I found it hard to get this one to look good as this time I was not focused on the accuracy of the shape which I am quite annoyed about.
At first I didn't know how to add the shading without making a hard outline but I shaded the background a bit to add contrast.
I took a long time on these poses and spent longer than others meaning I did less work I am happy with the way they were going.
