Exercise Two- A Longer Study

For this exercise we were asked to find a pose for our model which they find comfortable, then we should draw them and take regular breaks just to keep a fresh eye and also of course let the model relax. I used quick lines to get the basic shape , I wanted to get the proportions accurate then I went in and added some shading just the get the lighting appeared in the drawing. I found it good to do smaller lines therefore I could build on the shapes and really get a good impression of the body. Below is a picture of my result, I do think I did well with the proportions on this piece :

For this piece I again wanted to use a soft pencil therefore I could get good lines and work off them to get a more accurate representation of the body. I would like to try more independent studies using charcoal or brush. Using the pencil I was able to get more detail with some shading and I was able to show the lighting a little better throughout this piece. I do think I am being accurate with the proportion but I do need to take some practice in using more detail in the drawings. I want to do some independent studies and sketches in close up to get detail on the body and face just to get practice so eventually I can do more realistic full body studies.

I think I have captured the characteristics of the model quite well in this piece, I thought the pose the model had given was easy to capture the emotion. There was a different type of body to show off in this piece to my last and I think I have presented the different body type well in this exercise, I found it more interesting to draw the different shapes in this piece than the last, I do think the proportions do look right, I think everything looks balanced and I have been fairly accurate in this exercise from that view.

All in all, I do think this piece turned out well and it was interesting to do. I am happy with the proportions and the angle I have angled on the model, I like that I was able to include some shading and show different lighting throughout. I do think I need to allow myself to get more detail within the face and not worry about not making it completely perfect to be more confident with my drawings.
