This week in life drawing we finished the shoulders and started working on the hands. The shoulders i had a difficult time at first taking the lecture, and then applying it to real life. The problem was that whenever we learn a new area of the body, the images are drawn by Amy are like they are on a robust male. Then when we get to the life drawing portion of the class, we have these skinny little models (now I'm not complaining...) but it is a little confusing to apply it. An then when i have to switch back to drawing robust males, the proportions are so totally different. I suppose that is just every human being unique and i just have to apply my knowledge to their body. This week i also switched up my gesture drawing style, to capture the position of the body rather than just the body itself. I think i can move through a person faster and more accurately this way. When we started the hand, we had no lecture, and the first drawing was a little difficult, amy just gave a skeleton hand though, and from there is was fairly simple. I am starting to like the class more now, but i still think my grade is BS.
