Life Drawing

Today was our first life drawing lesson! I've been so excited to get some life drawing in as I've done it before and I've really enjoyed it. The class was great, and I learnt a lot, like drawing bigger and using different kinds of strokes. Next lesson we will be doing continuous line drawings and I can't wait for that. Here's what I did this lesson.

We started with a 20 minute pose -

It came to my attention after drawing this that I'd done it really small on my A1 page, which was also pointed out to me by everyone else! I learnt from that and resolved to do my next drawings a little bigger.

We then did some quick poses all in succession, starting with 5 minutes, going down to 1 minute and then back up to 5 again -

I enjoyed doing these quick poses, because it really loosened me up and got me into the habit of drawing quickly and using my time efficiently. I don't like these poses much, and it didn't help I wasn't great at taking good pictures of them either! However it was nice to give it a go.

Lastly we did another 20 minute pose, and this time I filled up the whole page!

I loved my first life drawing lesson and can't wait to do more next week.
