Life Drawing - Session 8

The images below were created during a life draw exercise, in which we were to experiment with various objects and utensils, including pipe cleaners, charcoal, ink and permanent markers, exploring different techniques to produce the outcomes, on Tuesday 13th November 2012.

To create image #3 (above), I devised a technique that utilised ink and masking tape, sketching out the model before using the masking tape to spread the ink, creating fur look to the image.

The final pair of images (#4 & #5), were created by pouring several puddles of ink onto the paper, which was scored with a knife in an attempt to create grooves for the ink to follow, before lifting the paper and tilting it to move the ink along it.

 

Life Drawing - Session 7

I created the pair of images below during a life drawing tutorial, using ink, originally with an ink pen, but I eventually decided to use my fingers as it made the process easier, on 06/11/2012.

In order to create the bottom image, I used several strands of masking tape, ripping it in half, using them as guides, to be removed after completion, to create an outline of the model.

Life Drawing - Session 6

The series of images below are sketches created during a life drawing tutorial on 30th October 2012.

The first image (below, top) is the combination of six poses over laid on top of each other to create a single drawing.

Life Drawing - Session 5

I created the series of images below during my fifth life drawing session, on Tuesday 23rd October, using several different forms of media, mainly pencil and charcoal.

The last two images are an attempt at creating the idea of perspective from different angles.

Life Drawing - Session 2

Below are the second series of images created during Life Drawing workshops, on Tuesdays from 5:00pm to 7:00pm.

Life Drawing - Session 1

Below are the first series of images I have created during Life Drawing sessions at UCA Rochester:

 

The first image (above) is my depiction of the focus on the area around the model rather than the model themselves, which is why I chose to display the objects and other artists as silhouettes.

 

The second image (above) is a series of quick sketches of the model posing in a variety of stances.

 

The final image (above) is a simple line drawing of the model posing.
