Life Drawing 1


Thus Far I have very much enjoyed Life Drawing 1; its been over a year since I have taken a drawing course and it is very refreshing to do gesture drawings and contour lines drawings from a live model. I try not to think too hard when doing gesture drawings; my goal is to capture what I am seeing as efficiently as possible and when I am successful in doing so, I enjoy doing them. I have always worked rather slow and take my time studying my subject; I start from a central focal point in my drawing and expand out focusing on value and detail. It is good to loosen up and practice drawing with a different approach; I believe that I will be able to render my subject more diligently, while looking just as carefully at my subject. I look forward to working with modeling clay and using the manikin to learn about bone and muscle structure which will hopefully be a beneficial tool to create drawings with greater ease.
