In our first life drawing session we did several short pieces, focusing on the body shape and outline. I think my (second across) image below was a lot more successful and in proportion to the rest of the body structure.
In our second session we began with a series of four poses and then moved on to more complexed work. Still using charcoal, our mentor got us to try several challenging techniques such as continuous line drawing, using our opposite hands to sketch and change in distances with our contact on paper.
For our third session we could use pencil, although the paper we used was more for charcoal, it was fun experimenting with various techniques such as Scumbling and Crosshatching. I played around with the depth of tone alot more and made harsh edges to bring out the silhouette of the model.
Our fourth session was alot more concentrated on the figures stance and interesting angles to work with. I really enjoyed bringing out the expression of the model and toning. I also found
using geometric shapes to prepare for the actual pieces relieving. The third
image down was pleasing too, as once the time was up we had to move on to
someone else's work and go over it. This is the one I started on and found it
interesting how everyone had corrected several body features and yet left
others.
