Week 6 - Life Drawing (Proportion)

 

The medium used in this drawing session was a graphite stick and the drawings were done in A3 format. The  focus was to keep human proportions right, while also studying the posture of the model while in simple poses.

The first image shows a series of sketches in which the the proportion of the human body are accurate. There are visible construction lines on the page which mark the angles of the hips and shoulders, and this creates a greater sense of balance and weight of the model in those poses.

The second drawing is a more detailed piece which also displays good proportion overall and manages to describe shape with the help of shading. There are however certain issues caused by poorly observed perspective. The foreshortening on the legs isn't correct and this causes a loss of proportion, and also creates the impression an out of balance pose.
