Life Drawing

After seeing my figures without reference you can tell I need loads of practice! Luckily the course organizes life drawing classes, having in mind I am self-taught, especially when it comes to drawing anatomy, I am really excited about being in actual artistic surroundings!

Below I am posting drawing exercises from 2 drawing sessions:




 5-minute drawings:



20-minute drawings:



Here I got advice about my line-weights. And movement and structure exercises:



Experiment with different materials, but I have to watch out not to make the drawing look plastic-y like this.



Overall I learned quite a bit about my drawing style from these. I tend to outline the figures to hard, not bearing in mind a light source. I also should learn to draw with more precise and decisive lines, instead of scribbling franticly!  Perhaps that is partly due to the materials I use. A thick 4B pencil doesn't really help.
