Week 12 - Posture And Pose

Week 12 - Posture And Pose

The bottom piece was a 10 minute drawing I produced when we were drawing a female model, of course in that period of time I was only able to produce a drawing with little detail but what's interesting is that there are minimum construction lines which are crucial when drawing the human figure, maybe in the future it would be best to consider keeping calm under pressure.

Due to little construction lines the head appears to small compared to the body but if you ignore the head it's rather correct in size which means the previous revision is paying off as knowledge on the muscle structure is improving.

The second piece (top picture) gave twice as much time to produce so shading and balance was corrected in this piece.

As explained before the balance of the human figure was considered, you can see the female is leaning slightly forwards as she holds her knee as she is balancing on one foot on the table. 

The focal point in the image is considered the models right shoulder, again shading a background behind the model to give more depth and the floor is also shaded correctly behind the table to give a better sense of it all being three dimensional.

The cloth would've contained more detail but time was of the essence.

This time construction lines are used in the chest area and it pays off compared to the first piece where no lines were presented.

The hands could've done with some work as they look a little flat, perhaps shading them would increase the results quality.

It's now time to work on a final piece of anatomy for this semester taking in everything I've learnt previously.
