Week 5

 This is a 10 minute sketch showing basic human anatomy when lying down. I believe this drawing is successful in a few ways; the proportion is correct, it gives a very good idea of foreshortening, as the head is moving away from us. The right hip seems quite relaxed and spread as she is lying down. However the head is not correct, seems like she is looking straight at you when she shouldn't be.

 A 20 minute drawing of a human anatomy.This drawing is successful in showing a basic human anatomy as well as giving a sense of weight and gesture. The proportion of the body is correct, apart from the left foot which seems a bit small and out of proportion. Despite that this drawing shows good human anatomy, one thing I like the most about this drawing is the skin being pulled down by gravity as she sits.

Another 20 minute drawing of a human anatomy. On a whole the proportion of this drawing is acceptable but still isn't quite perfect. The arm seems a bit disproportion compared to the body, but this could be due to the slight foreshortening, the body is slightly in an angle making the arms look smaller and out of proportion. Apart from that this drawing shows a good relaxed and calm posture as she lays down, the pull on those abdominal muscles gives us a sense of gravity and weight. 

Week 4

This is a 30 minute drawing, in which I demonstrated foreshortening, I chose to draw in this perspective as it allowed me to get a better view of whats happening with the anatomy and the foreshortening. With this perspective in particular I was able to show the foreshortening, this drawing was successful in conveying foreshortening, it can be seen as the head is smaller than the rest of the body in terms of proportion, giving an idea of moving away. 

Here is a much quicker sketch, which took me 5 minutes. I chose a similar view to show the foreshortening, however it didn't turn out very successful. It does give a sense of moving away but the proportion isn't correct to support that, as the rib cage remains the same size when clearly it should be getting smaller as it gets further away.

Week 3

The drawing above is a 20 minute negative sketch, which only highlights the outline of the object. This technique works very well in showing some basic shapes and lines, as the eye automatically draws on the shape and lines of the object.

 This is a 3 minute sketch showing composition with different arrangements of the objects. The focal point of this drawing is the big jar at the front which draws the attention of the viewer. However This sketch fails to show any balance between light and dark due to no shading.

This is a 15 minute sketch showing different arrangement and also good balance between light and dark regions. The focal point lies towards the left as there is more contrast towards the left and some strong shading. However I believe this sketch fails to have an overall balance as there is more contrast towards the left than there is on the right.

Week 2

This is a 5 minute sketch. This weeks objective is to show shapes and forms and I believe this drawing does that very well, as it only shows the basic skeleton of the object giving us a sense of weight. 

Another 5 minutes sketch showing shapes and forms very similar to previous drawing. This drawing was successful as it shows some really good lines and a good form of the object.

This is a very quick 3 minute sketch outlining the basic shape and structure of the object, however this sketch fails to draw viewers attention due to no shading, which makes it really dull and boring.

Week 1

This is a 20 minute drawing showing some basic principles of drawing; shape and tonal values. The use of correct tonal value gave this drawing that real look, as the folds are made very clear and the shading follows the shape of the cloth which makes is obvious that it is dropping down. This drawing was successful as it shows a very good tonal value and the correct proportion of each object. 

This is another 20 minutes drawing but this time I used the impressionist technique for the texture on the cloth, this saved me time and gave the viewers an idea of the texture of the  material. Again here the tonal value makes certain part of the cloth stand out than the rest .
