Shaded body - Life drawing

Size: A2
Materials used: Chalk and coloured dry pastels
This piece of work was a direct drawing of the woman lying down for approximately 15 - 20 minutes. I have focused on the shapes of her body by using a more subtle approach by using the chalk to show the lighting affect on her figure.

Life drawing

Size: A2
Materials used: Charcoal and chalk
I used the influence of cubism in the first picture to give the figure a more rigid and direct shape. The second picture I repeated different positions of the woman ontop of eachother. Although the picture looks very confusing I like the way in which each drawing brigns another one out.

Another piece of work I did during life drawing lessons. The first picture i used a different way of drawing by using the edge of the charcoal to give it a more swift, easy figure drawing. The second picture I did quick contour line drawings over eachother to give a different effect using a variety of colours.

Contour drawings

Size: A3
Materials used: Charcoal and coloured pastels
I used the technique of contour line drawing which was a quicker technique used than the shadowed pictures I did. The coloured contour lines represent the proximity of the person. The red representing the body being closer and the blue representing it being further away.

"Wrapping figures"

Size: A2
Materials used: Graphite  
I used a different technique of the womans body to show a "wrapping" figure. This technique was used to show the warious position of the woman moving around. The beginning of the sketches was rough, however it did get a lot easier towards to end.

Overlapping Bodies

Size: A3
Materials used: Charcoal
I decided to overlap the womans body 3 times to give a different dimention to the picture. This piece of work i like very much as it is confusing, however i am able to identify each body.

Life drawing has been an new experience in my life since starting at my new school and i have found that it has helped my drawing skills greatly through out the year. In picture one the concept was to look at the lighting on the womans body and without using contour lines to sharpen off the bodies shapes we were asked to use the white to show the shapes instead. The second picture was more on the idea of using contour lines and not looking at what you aer drawing but more focusing on the womans body and then drawing what you see.
