The Full-on Drawing Session - Part 2

 Further quick fire poses followed.  First using the hand you do not normally favour - for me this is my right hand.  It felt very hard not being in control of the charcoal which felt unfamillilar in my right hand.  But the picture was much better than I anticipated.  This says a lot about hand eye co-ordination and about how I at least think TOO much about the marks I am making being "correct".  In this exercise it was as much as I could do to just make the mark.  Perhaps I should use my right hand more often if only to help me improve on my proportions.

Next we drew the figure whilst not looking at the paper.  There is a solidity and a feeling of form to this drawing together with a simplicity of line that I really like.

Next up: not looking at the paper AND using the hand we do not normally use.  There is a soft, feminine feel to the line here with the shape almost foetal in form.

One short break and then back to it.  This time taking random words from the dictionary and drawing in that syle.  So model in the style of a CUBE:

Model in the style of MAD:

Model in the style of PIZZICATO



And finally model in the syle of FAVOURITE (I took this to mean my favourite style)



Finally student in the form of a small blob of grease on the floor. Two and a half hours of really intense work and concentration but a great deal of fun and I have learnt a lot about how I translate images onto paper.
