Artist Toolkit - Life Drawing Prt3

Session three of Life drawing with Vicky and today was my first attempt of drawing a Male life model. I found the experience enlightening as it was the first time I have ever drawn a man and we were instructed to incorporate the background within the design. I am most proud of the first 4 quick 1 minute sketches and I believe they hint the overall stance of the model. I must better my tonal techniques.

Second of the Life Drawing sessions today and it basically follows on from last week but this time I have become a lot more loose with my tones in these pictures. Charcoal studies are really starting to improve and the proportion studies feel more accurate the more I experiment.

The very first life drawing session of the course involved the group performing multiple different timed studies of our life model. Trying to keep in proportion with each drawing and if I ran out of time use small hints to illustrate details that were not yet finished.

For this session we had to experiment with the lighting and shadows with our observational sketches, playing around with camera angles I snapped some potential areas for study. I used different holds on the Charcoal to create tones within the page to create the illusion of shadows in the installation.
