Drawing the Human Figure Inside Out

Today was D.E.A.D. (drop everything and draw) day again, and we were to draw human figure, displaying the proportions of the body. We were not to draw the details, but to draw the figure quickly and make sure the proportions were correctly balanced. I think my figures was okay, of course it not perfect, I think I have some trouble making the head proportional to the body. Maybe a bit more practice would help.

Shades of grey.

The goals of today's drawing was to bring the objects on the table to life. We are supposed to draw them by using a paper with a charcoal dark background and make shapes and shades with a eraser. I find it was quite difficult to draw the transparent bottle and find the right hue of white for the pots. I was not exactly satisfied with my work but I generally did well on it.

Keeping Up To The Changing Still Life.

Keeping up to the changing setting of the still life pose on the table was really difficult and tiring. It is hard to erase every thing and drawing something else in its place over and over. It created a giant smear on the paper which irritated me. The three most difficult thing I had to keep up with the changing still life was erasing a lot over and over when something is taken away or overlap something else, and drawing the object over and over when something is taken away or added in the front of it. Lastly, the most hard thing was to try and keep the objects proportional to the table and drawing it in the right size.
