Week 10

 This is a quick 15 minute drawing showing a basic composition of an interior, it gives a good sense of composition with the background foreground and mid-ground. However it fails to show any lights and contrast which makes this drawing dull and boring.
 This drawing of a corridor took me 15 minutes, the lightness and darkness contrast in this image played an important role as it gave us a 3 dimensional feeling of a corridor but this drawing failed to show much of a composition.
This is a 15 minute drawing of a cabin room, it gives us a sense that there is some composition but due to lack of light and contrast it fails to make it clear enough. The 2 point perspective helped me get that depth in the field and made it look like a room. The shading on the curtains made it look more round than just a curved surface, However its not enough to give the right tone to the drawing.

Week 9

Here is a 20 minute sketch of a statue, showing some traditional monuments inside a museum. The purpose of this drawing was to get the shape of the structure and pose of the statue, which turned out successful however the tonal value could have been better in order to give a better impression of the material. Even though the shading on the cloth gives a good idea of the folds and the curves, the brush stroke were deliberately with an angle to give a sense of falling drapery. 

Despite having a good tonal value the drawing overall lacks viewers attention due to no background, foreground or any sort of composition.

Week 8

 Here is a quick 5 minute sketch showing a basic anatomy of a squirrel when they're jumping or landing from a tree. I believe this sketch is successful as it has the right proportion. The pose is very open dynamic.
 This a basic skeleton shape of a Dik Dik's head. Just by looking at the skeleton we can tell that this is a quite small animal with huge eyes. By looking at the skeleton we can also say that this is a herbivorous animal as the jaws aren't as strong as a carnivore animal. This is very different to a human's skull, human's skull anatomy is more round rather than pointy and triangle shape. This sketch took me 10 minutes. 
This is a 25 minute drawing showing the basic anatomy of a bull's head. This drawing is successful as it gives a good sense of the anatomy of an animals head compared to humans, humans have flat face whereas animals in most cases has pointy face with the nose at the end of the face.

Week 7

 This 15 minute drawing shows a basic human figure that is almost dynamic but there are still muscle stretch on the left arm as she leans on one side, so this is more of a static pose. There is a  sense of gravity pulling down but the weight of the body is not evenly distributed, there is more weight on left arm than the right arm possibly no weight at all on the right arm.


This is a another example of a static pose where the figure is very relaxed and doesn't show any movement. The sense of weight in this drawing is quite well shown, this can be seen as the skin is relaxed and pulled by gravity, also giving a good balance on the whole body. This drawing took me 20 minutes.

Week 6

This is a very quick 1 minute sketch of stationary people with some movements in the arms. I captured a moment in a moment and drew that, however you cant see much of a movement in this sketch.

These sketches took me 30 seconds each, even though you cant see from the drawing but those 2 people were just about to move. Its not very clear but the sketch on the right gives a sense of movement as we can imagine what he's going to do next. 

Here is another 1 minute quick sketch, even though there wasn't that many movement this sketch is still quite dynamic as they were moving their arms if not the whole body.
