1. These are "base drawings" done the first week of class. They serve as a way to remember where you started off and how much you have improved (which hopefully you can tell, has been A LOT so far)!
2. Compare the first figure drawing above to the next three. Although it is just a contour study, there is much more accuracy and by far better line quality. This was done with a male model that would alternate between two poses (one in front of the still life, and the other behind it). The still life included a box with a cow skull and long cylinder on top.
3. This drawing was chosen by my professor as my best measurement drawing. He explained that Block A (feet to hips), Block B (rib caje), and Block C (skull) were very clearly seen. On the left is a female model standing next to a skeleton on the right. The second image is a detail of the quick contour of Block C.
4. This is a quick gesture drawing using boxes meant to help you understand perspective and that the positioning of the blocks are almost never aligned. I was struggling with this concept of using "boxes" at the beginning, but this was a great breakthrough drawing for me. My professors actually showed it to the class as an example of what they were looking for! They said I captured the essence of the figure and that my marks were very "gesture-like" in the sense that they are free and could easily be altered....I was happy :D
5. Here is an example of when I was struggling with the boxes. With the figure on the right, I was finding it hard to understand the perspectives of the skull and rib cage. When I got stuck, I turned to a contour drawing (seen on the left and in detail in the second image). I find it always helps me see better.
