Today we didn't have a model. The model couldn't get to Tyler becuase of the SEPTA strike. The subway, trolley, and bus systems are completely down.
Instead, the some students from our class took turns posing (clothed). David Noyes gave us all images of paintings by Francis Bacon and told us to have the same sort of exageration in our drawings. Certain parts of the figure are exagerated to better show the feeling of the body and how its positioned.
These are two drawings from the end of class. Once again, I was having trouble in the beginning. By the end though, I had a better understanding of how to exagerate the body the way David was talking about. He said I should look at drawings by Henry Moore because they have similarities to my drawings. The drawing on the right definately reminds me of a Henry Moore sculpture.
I agree that your drawing on the right evokes a sense of the model's laid back and relaxing attitude. I enjoy your drawings and he discussion from your class.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you enjoy my work. I should get another post up of my drawings soon.
