Life Drawing

Here are some sketches that I have made during two Life Drawing sessions at university.

Session 1 

Quick sketches from twenty seconds to two minutes.  Some of the sketches were drawn with the opposite hand.

Below: A five minute sketch.

Below: A fifteen minute sketch.

Below: For this sketch I was given the task to draw the models in a way which I considered to be wrong and out of proportion.  I made parts of the body large and wide and other parts small and slim.
I really like the way this image turned out. 

Below: For this drawing I was given the task to draw the model in the style I like to draw in.  I love the female form and when I draw it I like to exaggerate the curves.  I have taken inspiration from pin-up paintings from the 50s era.

 

 Session 2

In my second Life Drawing session I drew the unclothed model for two minutes to twenty minutes.

I used different techniques such as using the opposite hand and with my eyes closed.  I also used different medium, such as fine-liners, pencil, charcoal, chalks and felt-tips.

 Below: I was given the task to draw the model fully clothed.  I looked at how the fabric fell and the shadows and shapes it made.  I also looked at the textures in the different fabrics.   I made my lines in my drawings free and sketchy to show the movement in the fabric.
