Life Drawing Session 5
We started with 5, 3 minute drawings which I think I'm improving at as the weeks go by. We had a different model this week with a different bodyshape to the previous models and I tried to draw my short sketches at a larger scale than I have before with this task. We then moved on to drawing the moving model again, I found this task very difficult again as I'm not great at capturing shape when its changing at a fast rate. This being said I think I managed to capture some movement and shape in the drawing I did get down.
Once this was complete we chose two media we felt comfortable with using, I chose felt pen and a ballpoint pen. I think my felt tip pen drawing was better because of the shape and detail; captured, however the style is very similar in both drawings. Finally to end the session we drew a large square of black in the center of our paper in chalk and used rubbers to block in any light we could see, cleaning the rubber meant we could getting a lighter shade of grey/ white and therefore we ended up with multi-tones of grey, black and white, to create an almost silhouette like piece. I think my second drawing worked better than the first as my proportions and light reflections were better. This technique is useful to understand how light and shadows are cast around and on the body and how they can be portrayed on the page in different ways.
