Yesterdays life drawing session began with one minute sketches to get back into drawing quickly and capturing the overall shape and movement or line of action.
We then overlapped our drawings of the model in different positions as though the drawings were keyframes in an animation. I found this a bit confusing as the lines were all one colour and began to blend into one another but I tried my best to separate the drawings so that the motion was visible.
These were a couple of experimental ways of life drawing. First using the negative space which I found incredibly difficult as I kept wanting to add detail to the shape. It helped me to see how the space around the model is also important - this is a good exercise to practice drawing overall shapes of a model or character.
The second on was drawn using cubes but I think I added too much detail and drew too many cubes. I think fewer cubes to get the pose drawn in would have worked better.
We had a go at drawing the model using curved lines to show the shape and pose of the character to see how the body curves and how lines flow across the body where different areas connect.
The last three drawings we drew were on black paper using white chalk. I found these fun as we could focus on the lighting in the room and how it shone differently on different areas of the body.
