Week #1

The first week of Life Drawing went pretty well.  While studying abroad in London this past summer, one of our requirements was to do 100 figure drawings in our sketchbook (i.e. people at train stations, on buses, etc).  We also did a couple of exercises with the same timed drawing format we are using for our gesture drawings in this class.  Having not done much drawing since freshman year, that assignment has greatly helped me in this class. Not only did I get back into the swing of drawing, but it also gave me practice in basic figure/form drawing.  I enjoyed the first weeks activities and am looking forward to this week.  I am looking to improve on fitting the whole figure in the box on the page...I got a little big on a few of them.  Also, the first attempt at a cross contour drawing went OK for a first shot, but hopefully it will come along better with some pratice with the shell assignments.
