This has been quite the semester so far! We have learned about a lot of things involving anatomy and skeletons.
The manikin was a task all in itself with many hours put in and learning how to deal with clay. This allowed us to see how the muscles we are drawing when models were in studio, were supposed to look since we could touch the clay and see how it is formed.
We also made four shell drawings on Stonehenge paper. My first I think wasn’t the best but a starting ground for the rest. My final one I believe and the one before it turned out better than the first two, but I like dealing with the ink a little more than just the charcoal. Over the course of the semester we really got to study our shells and know it and how it’s formed. In the end I saw most of the class, myself included, really grow in effectiveness of their drawing skills and I believe this shell drawing had a lot to do with that. We got to concentrate a lot on line weights and when ink was incorporated, shading too.
Something else that was a whole new experience for me was drawing live models. In the past I’ve only drawn still life and let me say this was interesting! Live models have a whole different thing to them since they must be proportionate with what a human looks like! We learned how to draw the basic skeleton with how they were in a stance and then draw their body around said skeleton. Also, when we made our manikins muscles we got to learn how the insides should be when drawing or creating a being. This helped us create better curvatures in all the areas when drawing the figures.
