LONG POSE DRAWINGGESTURE DRAWING

I think that my figure drawing has come a long with along with my sketching techniques. As you can see the first image is very much done with my stubborn sketchy style where I can't resist to throw on a dark sketchy outline around the whole object. I tried to push different techniques and methods learned in class as much as I could. The techniques I found to be useful and could see improvement definitely stuck. I altered my utensil grip positioning as well as my posture along with sketching stroke methods that I picked up directly from the teacher. I also, although not until later in the semester, worked harder and discovering the different planes of the body in certain areas to create the shape and depth without any sort of shading. I feel much more comfortable with line work rather than intraquite shading so I was right at home and embraced many of these methods. Overall I feel this class was a huge success and will help to continue to improve my sketching.
