More life drawing!

Five minute drawings

For these three we worked on one dynamic drawing for 30 seconds, and switched to the other for 30 seconds adding to each as we swapped between the two poses.

The four drawings of the model in a sitting down pose were drawn over 3 times as we switched between poses after a couple of minutes and then returned to them later.

These were quick sketches as we captured the movement of the model walking around the room. Trying to show the weight shift from one foot to another was very difficult.

These were the last two drawings we did, they each took 15 minutes. I think by drawing quickly to begin with it became easier to sketch out the main pose and then add the detail.

Moving On

This is one of the most amazing animated music videos I've seen! I love stop motion and the way this particular one has been made.

Getting back into life drawing

The two sheets above were the first drawings I did as I got back into the hand of drawing from life. I was happy with how they turned out for a first attempt. We spent around 15 minutes on each pose.

The next two sheets are quick drawings of poses that only lasted 2 minutes. 

The sheet on the left also has 2 minute drawings, however we were challenged to do this with our opposite hand. I found it difficult to get the correct shape but managed to show the overall gesture. The final sheet shows drawings where we weren't allowed to look. For the top two I wasn't allowed to look at the page while I drew and for the one at the bottom I had to look at the model for 2 minutes and then draw without referring to the model. I found these tasks challenging but fun to see what I could achieve by drawing in different ways. They were also highly amusing!

Smokey fire kitty

This is the first drawing that I came up with after having a break from doing any work. I'm quite happy with how it turned out; I like the contrast in colours which is why I named it a smokey fire kitty! I might develop this further to create a character from it.
