Life Drawing - Model 2

 Life Drawing with a Model - 2

For the warm up task, we were asked to do five quick drawings of the model, in multiple different ways, much alike last week. Minimal times looking at the model, 10 marks only, outline and rubbing the figure out, then drawing back into it. I really like the last sketch I did, rubbing the figure out and drawing back into it, as I feel it is very loose and experimental, yet detailed and thought through. 

For the first official task, we were asked to draw the model from multiple angles, using continuous lines and frames. I really liked how this series of drawings came out, although they may have turned out rough. I feel they are expressive with the mark making used, although I would definitely redo the face again If I were to redo it again. 

For the second task, we were asked to draw a key of three 'shades', (light, medium, and dark). With these, we were asked to create a series of 4 drawings, going from minimal marks to many, with all three shades and detail etched into the last image. I like how the series turned out, however I feel I could of done it much better had I done the series larger. 

For the third task, we were asked to do the exact same as the fourth image in the last series, but with ink. Although fun, I found this quite difficult as I haven't got much experience using inks and I wasn't confident in watering down the colours. However, I did find a way and really like how it turned out in the end. 

In the last task, we were asked to do the same as the last task, but with different shaded paper being used as our background. I found this really fun to experiment with, as I could add alot more detail into the surroundings within the time frame with this technique. It also gave me bases for colour ideas, which I found really useful.
