Life Drawing - Term 12, Week 12

So it's the end of term again, they come and go so fast. Tonight we did a long pose of 2 x 40 min so I was able to focus on both proportions and the rendering. The drawing ended up feeling a bit stiff and I had the shape of the stomach wrong so it didn't look like the weight was towards the floor. Quite happy with my effort though.

As I type this now the whole of the summer holidays is over and I am looking forward to the start of the new term tomorrow evening. It will be good to get back to some life drawing, I have been too lazy.

Life Drawing - Term 12, Week 11

Mainly struggled with the proportions on the last pose this week. You can see I gave the model a very long leg. I was pleased again with my overall effort though.

Life Drawing - Term 12, Week 10

So a good week, quite happy with my efforts again. I am still very weak at drawing laying down poses so my teacher and the model set me a real challenge with the last pose. Lying down and loads of foreshortening. It was great and you can see all my proportional errors. Needless to say not much time was left to render the tone but I enjoyed it.

Life Drawing - Term 12, Week 9

Our model brought in a white parasol this week which made a lovely prop and some interesting poses for the quick gestures. I felt I made a good effort this week.
