Figure Drawing Practice
This week, I did some figure practice with a variety of different poses in different time frames. I used a website called Fine of Action, which gives you a variety of randomly chosen poses.
I started with a warm up, and gave myself 30 seconds to one minute to replicate the poses that the website gave me, timing myself for each one. As I gave myself a short amount of time to do this, I had to quickly try and draw the main shapes of the pose and capture the flow of the poses quickly. Doing this allowed me to warm up fast too, as I felt a lot more prepared to draw some more complicated poses now.
For the next set of poses I drew, I gave myself the slightly longer time of 2 minutes. This allowed me more time to not only block the poses out more effectively, but to also be able to add things such as muscle definition in certain areas.
Finally after that, I gave myself slightly longer. I drew some more complex poses in 3 and 5 minutes, and also one in 8 minutes. For the 5 minute pose, I had much longer to correct and adjust parts of the anatomy and add definition in muscles and other areas. For the drawing with 8 minutes, I again had more time to accurately block out the anatomy much better and also draw the reference models face.
