This is an awesome life drawing session with two of my most respected teachers. I learnt a lot today! I really got a lot of drawing tips and wise words today!
Warm up sketch. First is always the most horrible. Struggling with perspective and stuff. No pencils allowed! Only with a felt pen or marker. This is to stop us from making the "furry" drawings because of the lack of confidence.
I think it is super effective because it teaches me to have confidence in my strokes. Get it right with one stroke instead of going back and forth and creating hairy lines!!!! Of course I did my construction lines with my ball point pen but it is not furry lines but rather lines that figures out the flow and angle of the poses.
No rendering at this moment because the class is to get the poses right! Pretty short poses 3-5 mins and we did a 3 hour session. I was half an hour late! HAHA!
More interesting poses please, so the model had to do a lot of twisting as requested.
We also did some sequence poses from different angles.
Interaction with a fake vase and flower.
I like this pose the best. Again, from multiple angles. Hans likes us to move around and draw from different perspective.
Did one with the model pretending to be drinking/drunk.
As you can see, the drawing gets better with each round of short poses! My eye is starting to see shapes and angles.
Pretty good practice! I still got a long way to go but this is the first step. Keep doing it and you will get better!
