Life Drawing S19

This is the last session of life drawing. Looking back, I would say that these are some of my best yet. I think my favourite of these is the one of his back when he is wearing a dressing gown. I am really happy with the shading. This session had to be done with a clothed model because someone had complained about having to draw a nude model in life drawing. While I, and most others, found this to be a bit stupid I did find drawing clothes to be fun but most definitely challenging.

I feel like I have really improved with my shading after this session of life drawing. It was definitely a challenge to draw the model lying down because the distance was hard to capture. I enjoyed drawing the environment around the model but I was a bit slow to get a silhouette of the model done and then go onto the background.

This session of life drawing had us look at drawing the model while they were walking round, like frames of an animation, and looked at the perspective circles on the floor again. Last time I found drawing the circles hard. However, this time I didn't mind them as much and I think I got the perspective pretty accurate. I find drawing a moving model hard because I like to take time doing the drawings and I find it difficult to drawing an entire model in a few seconds.

This session had was interesting. We had to try a variety of things such as drawing from memory and not looking at the paper. It still surprises me how good my left hand is at drawing. The last image here was very interesting. To try and give the impression of depth to the drawings we had to use a warm colour pen for close areas and a blue for the furthest. I found this a real challenge but I did enjoy it.

This session of life drawing was interesting. To link to Visual Design a grid was put in front of the model. This proved very interesting and quite challenging. I discovered that I prefer shading by using only a few finger smudges as it has a slightly chiseled effect that I like.

This session of life drawing had us focus on lighting to coincide with visual design. For one of the drawings our only light source was the red light of the heater. I found the extreme lighting helpful to better understand how to draw lighting on paper.

Today's life drawing was interesting as you can see from the green dots. I did this with a stamp pen in the shape of a star. It was fun to make and I like the overall effect. We also focused on feet for our final drawing today as we are going to be looking at modelling them in 3D later on.

This session got us to mix different media and focus on a specific area of the model. I found this session's methods interesting to try.

Life Drawing S06

This life drawing session had us try a really interesting but challenging technique. For the last 2 images you see here we drew with both hands at the same time.

This session had us focus on the face. As you may have gathered from my other life drawings I tend to ignore the face because I'm not that good at doing them quickly. Luckily we had more time to draw the face. We drew the model's face from two different angles and with two different media.
