Life Drawing Session

In our next drawing session, we had to do life drawing. Our model was a lady and I had never done any life drawing before so I was looking forward to a new experience.
I feel that the series of drawings I made during this session where quite successful, considering this was my first time in doing so. I think there is definately room for improvement with these drawings and just this session has helped me gain a better understanding of body proportion and shape.
The main key techniques we were trying to cover were line, tone and shape. So on some of the drawings, I used just shade to create the shape of the model instead of going straight in with an outline, then filling in all the details which is something I used to do before this drawing elective. It has taught me to use different methods in drawing to create specific shapes and moods that I never thought of using before.

 

These drawings are all my own that I did in the session. I feel that the ones where I used felt tip were better than the acrylic paint. I didn't particularly like both of the different medias we used today only because its something I'm not used to. I think I will practice using different medias to see how my work comes out, instead of sticking to what I know and playing it safe. I think that I prefer to draw objects rather than people in real life but I was proud of myself for giving it a go.
