So I thought I'd share more of my life drawing work with you, since I really do enjoy it and I think it has and will continue to improve my drawing over time. These were done in two sessions, some from the October 5th, some from October 18th.
The first two pictures below focus on pose. The faster sketches were good to show the weight of a pose, where the body is shifting. The photo on the right is of my attempt to draw using negative space. I found this more difficult, having to focus on the shapes outside of the body.
Below, the three poses show the action of the man opening an umbrella. It follows him through the movement in three steps. It was good to look at the way the body turns from these different angles.
For another piece, we worked on black paper with chalk to study the way the light hits the body. I liked curving my lines to give a feeling of three dimensions, as well as trying to show the perspective and the ways the leg is further in the distance.
Last but not least is one I really enjoyed working on. The use of brown paper starts you off with a tone that is familiar when thinking about skin. It allows you to work around it with darker tones and also apply light sections where white paper wouldn't allow you to. One thing I know I have to work on though is the curve of the back, as the human form is rarely straight and it can become habit to make it that way.
