2015 Life Drawing Progression

First Life Drawing:

For my first session of life drawing I used both charcoal and ink, this is the first time that I have ever had the chance to draw the human body and I did struggle with proportion which is something I hope to improve upon throughout the year.

Background and Shadow:

In this session we used watered down ink to create backgrounds and shadows within our drawings. I am still struggling with translating the human body to paper but I feel that I am already beginning to improve.

Colour:

In this session I used colour within my drawings. I feel that my second drawing is more successful than the first just due to the scale enhancing the image. The colour is something that I had not yet explored but I feel that it has come out successful and pulls the image together.

Collage:

Here I used an image of a person posing and collaged around them and added stitch. This is something that wasn't particularly planned it was more just to do what I felt worked at the time and go with it but I feel that it has come out very successful.

Digital:

This is my first ever session of digital life drawing. I found it easier to use a mouse to draw as you have any colour or style of tool to choose from and any mistakes are easily rectified. I am extremely pleased with the final outcome due to the composition and different layers used.

Full Life Drawing:

This was done in a long morning session with Mario's guidance i was able to fix my bad habits and was able to draw the body to scale and add the light and shadow making the final outcome the one I feel is best to date. I feel like I have vastly improved compared to when I first started and I now have a greater understanding of life drawing and how it is done.
