...Figure Drawing...


Okay...now it gets interesting. This assignment was composed of two elements. The main element was to focus on a particular area of the figure and draw what we could within two minutes. Then, you have to flip your paper a quarter turn and pick another area of the figure to draw on top of your previous sketch where you think it fits best. Do this three or four times and that element was done. After that, we had to shade it and fill in blank spaces with various shades and blends in a way that defines an implied form of reflected light to complete the composition. This process causes some distortion and sporadic light sources but forms the results you see here. Projects like this seem so ridiculous when the teacher describes them at the beginning of class but it really pushes you to go where you normally wouldn't. So, even though it looks like a pile of body parts...I thought it turned out well compositionally if you can except it for what it is.

I really like this drawing. All of body party intertwined and layered just makes it so interesting. and you really did a nice job with the shading.
