Mid Semester ALREADY!!!!

Hey Everyone,

Look at the link here to see my Mid semester Portfolio

I find It is so hard to believe that we are already at the mid point in the semester. In this time though i can tell that i have a learned a lot and continue to do so. There is a HUGE difference between my first drawings in this class and the ones from this week.

This weeks 1 Hour Pose

This class has taught me to think about how to draw in new ways. Instead of focusing on contrast, line, and shadow this class is teaching me to represent things with just lines and also using lines to form a 3 dimensional space, as we do in our contour drawings. I also find myself discovering that our mannequins help us to learn how to draw the body as well. The mannequins help me to visualize the certain muscles that can be seen on the outside of the body. I find that every week is a wonderful challenge as there is a new form to learn and represent as we make our way around the body.

Last weeks 1 hour pose

Over the last couple of weeks i have discovered that i find myself most comfortable taking on the longer poses. I have always been one that is patient with my work so i find that the short gesture drawing are a challenge to me. However i see how important the gesture drawings are in order to become more aware and precise at drawing the land marks we are looking for such as the pelvic points. So even though i am most comfortable with taking my time i think the short poses really help as i work my way farther along in drawing the body.



I am truly excited to learn how to properly draw the rest of the body. I also can't wait to be able to look at the progress at the end of the semester. Its amazing the change that i have already seen!
