Life Drawing 16/01/15

I think that the fist study i did during this life drawing session went quite well. I think that this is because it was only a quick study meaning that i didn't over think the proportions and how accurate i was getting the figure which means that it worked better. The main problems with the proportions i feel is the legs as they are at the wrong angle and are to think. Another think that works to well is the shading as don't always do shading on the figures that i do i think that doing shading pulls that sketch together. I think that this is because i tend to do sketch outlines on the figures i draw so doing the tones on the figure just makes it look a lot neater.

I don't think that this sketch worked as well as i have made the stomach too large, i also don't think that the shading has worked that well as i haven't got many of the tones and gone over the top with the dark shades on the arm.

I kind of gave up with this study as i had got all the proportions wrong as i had made the body far to wide.

Again another study where i gave up as i had got the proportions to wide, i should probably think about measuring the with of the body. One thing that i do like about the sketch are the lines especially on the neck and shoulder as i have payed more attention to where i was drawing the lines and it looks a lot neater and more sculpted.

I then began to use paint on the studies that i was doing i think that using paint work well as it look a lot more expressive and makes it a more interesting piece. They only problem is that i went a little over the top with the shading on the first and third study which makes them look a little scruffy. I think that the second one didn't work that well at all as i have payed enough attention to the angles and shape of the figure which makes it look a little rigid and unnatural.
