Visual Arts Wk8 - Hands & Feet (Homework)

Hands

At first is didn't use a structure which made the hand look weird and distorted as fingers were too long or too skinny. So I was trying to develop a structure using simple shapes so it would be easier to drawing. As I was drawing I've improved and started to add shading which looks more organic.

Feet

The feet were more harder to draw then hands since it has more bumps and features then hands. So I made a structure using simple shapes simpler to the hands and the feet were easy to draw. I also added shading and detail to make the drawing more organic. 

Visual Arts Wk8 - Life Model Drawing Female (Classwork)

Using Marker (Sharpie)

This was very simple to drawing since it uses triangles as structure. However, the difficult part of this whole drawing was keeping the portion of the model right.

Using Ink (Brush and Ink)

This was a very challenging as we used shadows and no structure lines. This makes the model look distorted and hard to recognise. 

Using Charcoal and Ink (Conte A Pastel and Brush and Ink)

This was more easier than the ink drawing as I was able to use the conte a to draw structure while using the ink to create shadows. What was difficult was keeping the proportion and posture. For example, the body looks too big for the head.

What I would like to improve on is how I draw proportion and posture of a model.

Visual Arts Wk8 - 300 Drawings (Homework)

Nelson assigned our class to draw 300 full body observation drawing instead of 50 jelly bean drawings.

As I was drawing, I decided to add clothing to the people so then don't look the same. I would like to improve more on drawing less lines so the drawing doesn't look messy. However, this session help me improved on my confidence of drawing in pen.
