Week 13 - Life Drawing - Faces

This session we looked at faces as that is also what we were modelling in 3D.


I hadn't drawn in a while so beginning with the quick sketches were especially useful.

Using charcoal we did a large, loose drawing. I wasn't feeling very motivated to draw so I spent very little time worrying about accuracy and used the charcoal very roughly, as well as using it sideways o get certain textures in without putting too much thought into it. I think this absentmindedness actually helped in this particular drawing.

Next we changed media. After the previous drawing I was feeling more motivated so got pencils as they are what I prefer using. I still wanted to draw roughly so the drawing is very sketchy and there are some very hard lines.


I really enjoyed this next pose as the position and composition looked much more interesting. I spent longer focusing on accuracy and details in this one so the marks are softer and shadows more accurate.

One part that really interested me was the hair as the highlights and lighting made it more complex than just lines.

The model turned round for the next drawing so that the half of the room that had her back in the previous pose could focus on the face in this one.

I had a straight on view so I really enjoyed getting in all the details I could see, although I would have preferred a bit longer to add the correct shading and maybe work on the hair.

Next the model turned round a little to the right. I also really liked how this pose looked because of the fringe to the curve of the back. This was only a quick drawing but I think I got the outline and shape accurate.

The model had a very fun face to draw as parts like the lips and chin are not typical and what I am used to drawing.

She then turned back round the other way meaning I had a better view of the full side of the face. This one was very rushed so I didn't get as much detail and accuracy as I would have liked.
