To catch up on missed out sessions of life drawing over the past year due to Covid, this past week (24th - 27th May) has been filled with the opportunity to catch up and get back to basics by putting pencil to paper.  I have found this past week to be quite refreshing by being able to get away from the computer screen and actually draw something on paper rather than by a graphics tablet. Throughout this week I have looked at exploring the human form through tone, shape, mark making and colour. When I first started drawing this week, I found I was a bit ‘rusty’ in some of the forms and shapes I was creating, but feel that over the past week I have gotten better at the seeing aspects of the human form and relaying what I’m seeing in real life to paper through observation and repetition of shapes.

To start life drawing off, I looked at recreating the quick minute poses. With this I looked at capturing the form of the model rather than the finer details. from there I did a series of 30 Minuet sittings and looked at adding tonal detail and also focused on the form of the hands, feet and body position. Which consisted of redrawing the pose; of which I found easier as I had already drawn the model once.

To start off this weeks life drawing we did a series of sketches revolving around having a set amount of time consisting from 1 minuet to 20 seconds. Below I mainly focused on capturing the curves and contours of the models body and focused not so much on the finer details of the bodies forms but more on the fluidity of lines in the models frame. From there I did a 30 Minuet sitting of the model in a seated pose. With this I found it tricky to capture the correct angles of the body, but through iterating the position a few times I was able to get my head around where the leading body lines lie and and get to a position where I had something similar the pose I was replicating. Unfortunately,  I had to leave earlier than I intended, but felt that I needed to get into the swing of drawing people again. So found  a few similar poses our life model would have carried out and replicated those in photoshop, leaving all the sketch lines and mistakes that you would have seen in a sketc...

For this year life drawing, we are going to looks more at the breaking the comfort zones of where we feel comfortable in drawing. We will also be looking at being more free and loose with the way that we draw. Drawing tips to keep in mind for the coming year. Due to lack of model for this session, members of the class volunteered to pose for 15 minutes so we could start to apply the above tips mentioned. Within this we also had live drawing tutorials within the session to further understand/ comprehend how a pose comes together, and 'what feels right' in the moment we are creating a stroke within a piece.
