Drawing Class: Semester Two Week Three

Decreasing Scale

First life-drawing lesson this semester. Martin was posing for us, and we began on the right with a large drawing, with both time and scale decreasing as the lesson progressed. I quite liked the first drawing I managed, but (fun this) it just went downhill from there.

I think I need to work on the hands and feet in the poses more, as they hold a lot of the pose's expression.

Marks out of ten for each drawing (self-evaluated, of course):

One - 7.5
This was a 15 minute pose. I quite like it, but perhaps the leg is drawn a bit too skinny. However, I think the proportioning is quite good.
Two - 7
Another 15 minute pose. Proportioning is still good, but the leg is definitely too skinny looking and the hand isn't right.
Three - 7
15 minute pose. Scaling proportion seems fine, but I couldn't quite get the arms to look as they should. Again with the too skinny legs.
Four - 6
Maybe I drew the legs a bit short. Maybe they are a bit out of shape. Poor definition of arms and torso.
Five - 6
I like that this one is positioned a bit behind drawing four. Hand is drawn a little better, overall better definition, but the legs and arms look too skinny. Again.  Maybe that the feet are about level with drawing four doesn't help.
Six - 5
Proportioning is falling apart a bit here. More obvious that the top doesn't quite fit the bottom half. Can't help but think that everything from the neck down is a bit off.
Seven - 4
Didn't get this one quite finished. Dislike that the sizing is too like drawing six. General pose is right.
Eight - 4
Somehow the scaling has gotten stuck as the same as drawing six.
Nine - 4
Drawing one again, but smaller, as there wasn't that much to correct. Completely ignoring the bottom guide.
