Week Ten

This week we were trying to capture movement. Here are several 30 second sketches showing different positions with movement. In a lot of them you can see the rapidness of the movements that were being created and I feel that having some of them overlapping emphasises the movement that was going on. Even though a lot of the lines are wrongly places, you can still see the majority of the positions in which the model made.

This was a 20 minute sketch of the male model sitting down resting his head and his upper weight on his arm. I really struggled with placing the lines especially connecting his head to his body. I feel that the lower half of the sketch went well and you can see the weight that is being placed through his body, starting at the hand and flowing down to the knee and then the feet. The proportion of the overall body is almost correct, although the actual limbs are not.

This was a more successful sketch than the last and shows the model bending down resting on his toes and his hands. I like the movement that I got through this sketch, the way his back is slightly arched leading through to the scrunched up leg and then really being able to notice the pressure and weight put onto the toes. I feel that the placement of the head worked a lot better in this one and you can see that he was looking down at the floor. Adding the shadow to the picture created a nice contrast as there was no shading on the body and helps to create a good composition. This picture took me 10 minutes and I used a 2B pencil.
