Life Drawing with a Model - 3
In this warm up task, we were asked to create three 1 minute sketches of the model, then create one image with 10 marks, and the other with 5. To do the limited marks images, I used continuous lines, as to add as much detail in as possible whilst staying within the limitations.
For the second task, we were then asked to create three images that were as accurate to the models dimensions as we could make it. We did this by measuring to a certain amount on the page and creating equal boxes, of which match a hand made 'box' around the model. With this, we imagined lines across the model where the 'box' meets and drew what we saw within each section, in each image. The first image stayed that simple, but for the second and third we were asked to create a bold line around one side of the model (2nd) , and a bold line all around the model (3rd). I had done something similar in my classes last year, so I found these exercises easy to do, none the less fun. If I were to do it again, I would add alot more detail into the figure that matched the model, to test how accurate I could be.

The third task is by far one of my favourite pieces made in this module so far. For this, we were asked to create quick, fluid sketches of the model as he slowly moved around his stage. We were given around 2-3 minutes to draw each time he moved, making sure it was quick and sketchy. I really enjoyed this task, as I hadn't done anything quite like it before this. I love how it turned out, with the fluidity and the overlapping of the figures that create a very creative finished product. I would love to redo this at some point, in bolder inks and paints, or colour, to add more life to the image.
After this, we were asked to experiment with inks to capture the extreme lighting and simple poses of the model. I did so in a variety of ways, mostly focusing on the shadows and highlights of areas and the overall figure. I loved experimenting with the inks and really getting a feel for how I can work with it, very quickly falling in love. My top three favourites I show separately below, but I love all three due to my experimentation. The first I used multiple different watered down ink variants to create different shades, to create a tinal piece that really pops out. The second, I used the deep black ink to show the highlights of the models' figure, of which turned out incredibly strong. The third was a far more simple version of the first, allowing me to experiment with the brush textures also.
