Improving Anatomy and Observational Skills
The first life drawing session for me this year. Unfortunately we didn't have a proper model this week and ended up drawing each other in 10-15 min long poses.
Life drawing will help me improve my anatomy skills and improve my observational skills by paying attention to detail and recognizing significant trademarks that defines ones' character. In future classes I will set specific tasks such covering important aspects such as lighting, staging, composition, value or colour. Today I focused on scale and proportions of the human body.
They images are made up out of corresponding 2 dimensional forms that create the illusion of a 3 dimensional person. The challenge is to focus on the forms and in the eventually the whole picture will come together with correct proportions and scale. This is only one method though. If the time is not long enough to do so one can use charcoal for example and block in shapes, which can be done very quick.
Beneath are my sketches using pencil. I also defined the outlines a lot this time and spent little to no time on shading.
