Life model

We then had a new life model, this time it was a man I began by drawing four 5 minutes fast drawings to start off and begin to look at the body and shape. I found this difficult as I like to take my time while drawing so I feel this was quite a weakness, as I couldn't adjust to get the main shape that was asked for.

Here was another quick illustration of the life model, here I focused on one area and enlarged it as I felt this would create a much more interesting drawing, you can see how I begin to bring out the different tones seen on the stomach and chest area.















Below was quite a longer illustration, I found this more difficult as I kept making the head to small and the angle of the leg wrong, so I re marked where they were then suppose to be and redrew them into the character. I then began to bring out the tones and shadows that I could see on the body, this I feel then helped my illustration as it no longer seemed like a flat piece of work.

Below was another illustration, I found this one easier than the previous, I feel that could be because there was more thought for myself as how the drawing would work, so I began to think more in detail and it helped with the final outcome. The shading for the tone doesn't work as well as I would have liked it to but it is clear to see the possible pose that the life model was in, so I think it works well.

For the last illustration we were trying to show direction in the drawing, each time I drew the leg and arm in which the life model was posed, the direction wasn't coming through in my illustration so I feel for this piece I failed to achieve what was intended.
