Final Drawings

This is a 20 minute dynamic pose, this is a good example of a closed dynamic pose, all the parts of the body are close together. This image on a whole as a human figure is quite successful, the proportion is right,  The pose is quite straight forward with the weights being mainly distributed on the spine and there is a perfect balance as she sits.

To an extent the anatomy seems right with respect to body proportion and weight, however there are some minor problems with this drawing, such as the left foot seems distorted and out of place.

This is a 25 minute drawing, mainly focusing on the material, form of the object and the technique used to give an impression of the material. By looking at the picture it is obvious that you are looking at an orange and a bunch of banana, this is mainly due to the tonal value, that gives us a really good sense of the shape of the object, simply by just altering the tonal value on the orange i was able to give an impression that the object is round. Likewise with the bunch of banana, the light and dark tone certainly makes it a lot clearer for the eyes, specially the folds on them, giving it a 3-Dimensional feeling.

There is also good use of shadowing on the cloth, telling us where the folds are. However this drawing fails in terms of composition, as there are no foreground, mid ground and background, but instead focuses on the whole image.

Week 12

This is a quick 15 minute sketch of a landscape, here I have mainly focused on the use of colours for giving an impression of scenery with very minimal detail.
In terms of composition, this drawing is quite straight forward, with the buildings being the background, the river and the pavement being the mid ground and the concrete wall as the foreground.
However, despite the use of good colour and composition this drawing lacks shape and focal point, which makes it harder to get the feel of a 3 dimensional landscape.

Week 11

This sketch took 20 minutes, here I have mainly focused on the building rather than the whole scene. In this sketch I gives an impression of whats around the building due to the use of colours, telling us there are woods around the house. The use of colours in this drawing is pretty successful as it's tonal value tells us that it is a very grim and dull environment with not much greenery.

In terms of composition, this drawing has foreground, mid ground and the background being the blurry woods telling us its in a distance.
However this sketch doesn't have a perfect perspective as you can tell by looking at the house that it is distorted and doesn't follow rules of perspective correctly.
