Last week we drew our first male model. Needless to say it wasn't a good drawing day for me. I couldn't get my drawings to come out right. Not that it's an excuse but his poses were by far the best out of the three models we've now had to draw. It took me a little while to try and mentally place the ribcage and pelvic bones than with the female models. I think I just grew used to them, and to have a completely different model, not to mention his dynamic poses--I couldn't keep up my gestures were pathetic to say the least. Also, I thought it was a little awkward for me at first because I knew the model, and I was desperately trying to shake off the shock and it took longer than I expected.
My long drawing was a lot more successful than my gestures. I hated the use of the chair. I would rather draw the models on horizontal angles or lying down. I felt like the chair made it xtremely difficult to map the skeleton and it often covered most of the form so, I felt like I was drawing a chair, rather than a model. Meh.
On Thursday we went back to drawing a female model. I definitely wasn't feeling the awkward shock, but her poses were just so ... BORING in comparison to the male's poses. She also looks very angry... off topic, but an observation. My gestures weren't as bad, but that's because the poses were simple... as you might see from my gestures, I got bored and added doodles..
Again, we used the chair for the long pose and I thought it was horrible. The chair ruins drawings, they're boring, and static and I don't like them!
Pictures probably will be uploaded later tonight, along with the reflection and Maniken.
