Our second life drawing session got off to an odd start when our life model didn't turn up. Eventually he was tracked down, but the delay meant that our first subject was our lecturer. You can see my drawing of him below:
The general concensus among my friends was that clothing presented a higher level of difficulty in the drawing stage, but given our focus was on highlighting the lighter and darker parts of our model, we agreed that clothing made for a more interesting final piece.
After completing the first segment our model arrived. I decided to make my first drawing using charcoal and chalk to create highlights. I also decided to do the entire thing using the blind contour method, i think it shows in the final result!
If you look hard enough you can find a human shape in this mess! Still, i thought i ended up with an interesting result. Very artsy.
Our final task was to create a drawing using an unfamiliar medium, i
chose to use a pen. The black lines show how that went, i decided that
using mark making techniques was the best way to tackle it.
I felt that our life drawing experience ended on a high, for all of us, everyone seemed to have attained a very unique style in their final piece, and i personally felt i had improved a lot just in the space of two sessions.
I left with some useful experience and knowledge that i believe will be very useful in my future work.
