Week 7- Live drawing Human Anatomy

Another 10 minute live drawing, this piece shows great improvement from its predecessors the pose is natural and weighted and the eye allows the line of the body which is slightly foreshortened. the proportions are very realistic and the implied line that goes up the right hand side of the body makes it easy to view and be drawn into it. its positioning on the page is interesting, using the rule of thirds i placed it in the bottom left third the main focus points for this piece are the face and the curve of the back as both these points draw the eye in

Week 6- Live drawing Human Anatomy

A quick 10 min sketch to losen up before doing some more time consuming pieces, the proportions and position are very natural and the images depicts the figure as closed off and bunched up. the outline is bold and seemingly confident which gives great contrast to the actually drawing because the figure appears almost timid and trying to protect themselves by interlocking the fingrs in front of it

week 5- Fore Shortening

This image gives a great view of foreshortening, the eye follows the spinal column down through the piece and then follows femur to the edge of the drawing, the proportions are good and give a good sense of depth, the pose looks natural and weighted. It achieves a great deal of realism and is perhaps the best piece on the blog, the detail on the ribs is really great and the shading really gives the bones form.

week 4- Still Life

A final version of a version that many compositons were drafted for, it gives a nice sense of realism, but is not without flaws, some elipses are slightly off, this is due to the limited time allowed for this particular piece, the piece contains a good variaty of shapes and an implied line to draws the eye up to the highest part and then back down, ensuring no part of the image is overlooked

Week 3- Still life (negative space)

A negative space piece, containing a sweeping implied line that draws the eye along the silouhettes, the contrast between the white objects and darkness of the background really makes the shapes stand out and dominate the piece. One of the objects is slightly orphaned given the piece a fragmented feeling, it causes the eye to leap across ther black to reach it which means the eye wanders around the backgroud before settling on the smallest object

Week 2- Still life

 A simple compostion sketch, this piece contains a sweeping inplied line that draws the viewers eye from the tallest peak of the piece and moves it progressivly lower along the tops of each object, it gives real sense of depth as there are no kissing objects, each overlaps the last, and this in turn is then surrounded by the fabric showing it is anchored and not just floating in a void
