Life Drawing session 11

This being the first life drawing session we have had since Christmas I thought I would be rusty but apparently not. Compared to when I started this course I feel my ability to draw the human figure has increased by leaps and bounds. My proportions have gotten much more accurate and I am able to draw the model in the right pose in a relatively short amount of time. The head is still giving me trouble but I do now know how to construct the head from a circle thanks to me trying to learn how for the current project but actually adding facial features is still difficult. Usually for live drawing I start with the hips but it may be easier to start with the head instead that I can work down from. The other problem I have is being able to make the subject look like a 3D image rather than a 2D one. This will mostly be down to lines and shading to get that effect.

In terms of styles they range from making a character very realistic to being more cartoony which was demonstrated in the first exercise. At random we where given characters that we had to take from one end of the spectrum to the other. I was given danger mouse that was very cartoony so I had to make him more realistic. The main differences from the two styles is that the realistic approach involves making the head smaller, using more complex shapes and realistic body proportions. The second exercise revolved more around shapes. Characters with square shapes lo
