I realised that this week and over the past few life drawing classes, that I enjoy drawing standing poses more so than sitting poses or gestures when limbs are covered. That is something I’d really like to train myself to do, so I can not only be able to draw what I see, but be… Continue reading Life Drawing – 7 – S2

I felt a little more satisfied with how my life drawing turned out this week, mainly because I had did more research in how to draw the human form and attempted a new approach. Drawing the torso in a bean shape was a tutorial I found extremely beneficial, once again highlighting the form not in… Continue reading Life Drawing – 6 – S2

This week I had adapted a little more to drawing motion, I feel like I have made some improvement to how I draw gestures in that they look less flat and boring, mainly because I’ve been trying to follow the line of action.

When drawing movement, I attempted to keep the drawing sequence on the same page to signify motion, just like how… Continue reading Life Drawing – 4 – S2

This week we referred back to the initial lesson two weeks ago of how to approach form, having a more in depth class about positioning the life model on a chair and using the horizon line as a guide to help us. Because I had struggled so much with trying to draw the chair last… Continue reading Life Drawing – 3 – S2

With the techniques I had learned last week, followed by the homework task to help us further develop ‘approaching shape’, I attempted to implement what I’ve learned so far into this lesson. One aspect I focused on more this week was using curves and a simplistic form of lined shading to try and draw the… Continue reading Life Drawing – 2 – S2

To ease us back in to our life drawing routine, this week we were challenged with understanding form in the human figure and using shading to make our life drawings seem more dynamic. More so than just a flat image, I started to imagine the drawing on a 3D plane, as I have practised in… Continue reading Life Drawing – 1- S2
