Life drawing lessons have consisted of a series of task set to improve our basic drawing skills. I have found it useful to go over the basic disciplines again after not having life drawing lessons for almost six months. However unlike my usual method of drawing, which is quite sketchy and rough, we have been told to keep the drawings as clear and tidy as we can. This involves using as little lines as you can and not going over the same lines again and again.
one of the first drawings that i did was still sketchy, it was quite hard for me to draw in a new way, i had to try really hard to stop myself falling back into old habits.
The two pictures above are example of fast, one minute sketches. again we were asked to refrain from using too many lines. this would slow us down and the whole figure wouldn't be captured in the short amount of time that we had per drawing.
Another task which i found quite challenging was to capture the figure without using lines, only the light that fell on the body. For this you really had to look closely where the light was most visible and where it faded out. I really liked how unlike with line drawings, the drawing looks more realistic and there is depth to it, this way of drawing is good for capturing a 3D like appearance.
