Again this week I struggled getting into drawing but after the few sketches began getting used to it.
Thankfully for the next pose we were allowed to either use ink or any two medias of our choice. I'd used ink before and really enjoyed it so decided to go with that. I started with a more watered down ink and built up the shadows. I really like how the face came out most of all and feel I could have done better with a bit longer.
We then tried another pose, still with ink. I used thick ink around the body to make the shape stick out which I think is what was lacking in the previous drawing.
I found a flat, square-shaped brush to use which made some really nice marks though still made a thick enough stroke when I added enough water/ink.
I did better with the shades but to do that I had to use much more water meaning that once it dried, though the colours looked better, the paper was very creased, even more so when the previous drawing dried.
Lastly we looked at drawing feet. We didn't have long to draw them in so I focused on getting the shape right and not so much on the shading. I drew light circles where each of the knuckles were to help me get the shape of the toes.
I had a very good view of each foot in the next pose and although I had the same amount of time, I quickly got down the basic shapes as well as some crosshatching as the dirt.
There was one last pose to draw the feet but unfortunately I had forgotten my glasses and my eyes were straining too much so had to stop here.
