Figure Drawing : Live
This was the last live figure drawing that we did during this unit and I think there's a lot to say. I didn't go realistic and have lots of shading or even draw the face at all which I think counts against the point of the figure drawing and the left hand is also really messed up. I am happy that I was eventually able to get the proportions of the figure mostly down as well as understand how to draw wrinkles. The background is also something that I really liked. I know the unit is over but something that I'll probably work on is facial features. This was the drawing using the Conte chalk which I had some difficulty with. With the pen, I can sketch before I commit to the lines that I'm drawing but with the chalk when you lay it down you're never going to get the whiteness of the paper back. In the end, I think that it also turned out looking more like a panel of a comic than real life but I don't think that the composition itself looks bad.
