7th March 2007

Its been 3 weeks since the last life drawing class, so Im back to being a little bit rusty! I have however found a new favourite pencil, its a propelling pencil with a 1mm lead that Im guessing is at least a 3B, possibly a 4B. It (I) makes some beautiful lines on paper, i just need to recapture the confidence with putting lines down in economy and itll be a treat!
Anyway, to make up for the lack of pictures from the last few weeks, here's the evenings work in it's entirety! Some of it is a joke at best, but there are a few things that im pleased with.

















The first picture has some MAJOR problems with proportion of the upper body, but the legs came out pretty good i thought.
















These two probably came out the best in terms of proportion and weight.




















This one came out alright. I thought she might have a slightly small head but I think its okay. Needs some features drawn in though!















This was a pain in the arse to draw! The rear doesnt quite work. Mainly cos i need to put some more detail into it, but im quite happy with the interaction between the head, hair, arm and breast.



















The foreshortening on this drawing doesnt quite work, especially around the lower legs and feet, but i feel like i got the weight and balance right, and most of the shading works pretty well too, though the proportions around her tummy are a little off.


Thats the weather for this week. Perhaps there'll be a hailstorm next wednesday!
