Drawing Class: Week Eight

We began with some one minute continuous line drawings. I concentrated really hard on not lifting my pencil this time, as well as not going back on a line. The Result: some extremely long and wobbly looking people. I am not particularly pleased with them, but they did highlight some observational errors in recording proportioning accurately; as the limbs are both too long and thin, something that I have noticed occasionally in previous drawings.

These wobbly looking people changed from one wobbly to another, when we were given pens and told to mark on the silhouettes, with the strokes not changing direction, either slanted one way or another, no changing part way through. So, I kept mine all horizontal, and drew from the top down. Also one minute poses, moving down through fifty seconds, forty, thirty and twenty, ten, five, three and one second in length. They definitely become more obscure with the shortening of the time. Quite an interesting session and I think that I recorded the poses quite well, all things considered.
