For this exercise we were asked to arrange our model at a slight angle in a chair (an angle they will feel comfortable in) and draw them. We were asked to pay attention to any of the twists or bends on the figure. Look at the figure and block the basic shapes to help draw out the figures, it’s all about help shape out the body to get the angles correct and proportions of the body.
Below are pictures of my results, I enjoyed doing this task and I feel I am getting better at getting proportions and poses of the models:
Doing these drawings was great, I enjoyed looking at the shapes and identifying how I could make it simpler to draw the whole figure and get the proportions more accurate than just looking as the figure as a whole. I decided to again use a pencil for this exercise, I like the quick and confident marks I make when using this media although I do think on my next exercises I am going to draw with a different material and see how it goes when experimenting in that department.
All in all I like the way I got the angles right on this model, I looked at the twists and turns of the models angle on the chair. I wanted to make sure the proportions looked accurate therefore I tried to look at the body in different shapes like the exercise asked to get an easier look at how they all can connect and get a more accurate representation of the body. I think I did an accurate drawing of the figure and how the body is positioned although further on in this project I want to use different materials and experiment with doing close ups of the body to look into detail.
