figure drawing class, week 3

some drawings from this week's class (full set):

IMG_3216.CR2 (1)
3 min pose
IMG_3202.CR2 (2)
3 min warmup
IMG_3202.CR2 (1)
3 min warmup
IMG_3218.CR2
3 min poses
IMG_3221.CR2
15 min pose

we did a series of 1 min drawings where we observed the figure for 3 seconds and then drew from memory for 57 seconds (not pictured above, but included in the full set). that was a challenging but interesting exercise.

we also had our longest pose so far for 15 minutes. i feel like the longer i draw, the worse my drawing gets. but that was good for me to try too, the idea is that you spend more time on tone---trying to model the figure with light and shadow.

Wow, it must be stressful to draw under 1 min! I think the figures were nicely captured in such a short amount of time. I like the 15min pose with the blue crayon. Nice job!
