Life Drawing


Today I began to draw full body life drawing and at first found it difficult. I felt that it was hard to decide where to start without any guidence,however once I started I was able to understand how proportions of the body should be drawn and to keep looking at the model so that I did not draw the body from memory. For the first two drawings I used newsprint, for the third I used brown paper and for the fourth I used cartridge paper. For the last two images I drew three body shapes on bht pieces of paper which ended up over lapping. In the end this looked diliberate which made it look particularly good. I used charcoal to draw each of my images and found this easier as I could make thicker and thinner strokes where I wanted to and go over parts which I didn't like.
