For this exercise we were asked to loosely sketch some of the structures which make up the human body, look up some photos and also use our own body as reference, loosely sketch and let this exercise help you figure out the bodies measurements and and proportions of the body. For this I decided to do the hands and the feet, I feel like this was the best parts to focus on for me as I do struggle to show detail on these parts of the body, I just can’t seem to get the right shapes. Below are the pictures of my results:
I chose to just use a soft pencil for these sketches, I did this so I could do quick and fast lines and be able to add tone on my first few hand sketches. I thought this would be good practice when I get onto showing more detail further into this project. I do like how the tone has created the more realistic look and it does make me feel more confident for future ones, although there is a lot of room for improvement I think it has boosted me to carry on with the practising because I will get better. I have always struggled with hands and feet but I do think I am happy with these outcomes.
All in all I do think this piece turned out well, I like that I have been able to improve on drawing body parts and I am impressed with this work yet I do think I need to improve on the detail and look closer into these things a lot to get more practice. I have defiantly learnt about the different measurements I need to keep in mind when drawing the body. To make sure the proportions are right and that the body looks all in the right size and not alien.
