Putting Everything Together


We are getting down to the final days of Life Drawing. It is definitely bittersweet for me because I love the class but I am so ready for this semester to be over. This semester I am graduating so I am counting down the days. I really wish that I had taken this class earlier because I would have taken life drawing two, but I could never get into this class. Either way, I’m glad I took this class because I have learned so much!

This week on Tuesday I finished my manikin, which is a great feeling. I spent the three-hour class refining and smoothing it and had a few muscles to fix.

This week we didn’t learn anything new because we have gone over all the parts. We now are putting it all together. So today we drew gestures, and had a long pose. I looked through my favorite drawing of this semester and realized I don’t have many long poses that I like. So I really have to do my best with the next few days. It has been nice to draw the whole body and put everything we have learned together. I seem to like drawing parts of the body better than the whole body at one time. Probably because it is easier to focus on one section, then you don’t have to worry so much about proportions for every part.

Please look at my drawing. I’m not sure what I think of it, I had a really hard time with the leg connecting to the side/back. Also, are we suppose to do shading or is this what Amy is looking for?
