Life Drawing, 18th Nov 2020

For our second session with Mary Clare, we were asked to capture the emotion of each pose rather than reflect it accurately with regards to anatomy etc. This is something I hadn’t ever really done before with life drawing, so it was a challenge figuring out how to do this. Although I wasn’t 100% happy with everything I produced this session, I do think I grew as an artist & animator as I got to practice this approach and improved at it.

We also drew some interesting foreshortening poses with unusual perspective of the face. I like drawing faces so I enjoyed this, and I especially enjoyed it because I’d never drawn a face from such an extreme angle before. It was very interesting and also helped me to learn about a face’s structure.
