Drawing Ch 6 Project 1 Part 2

This section started with me drawing matchstick figures in numerous poses. This was followed by these four standing poses each of which was to take about 15 minutes. I'm fairly pleased with the proportions and angles but not with the representation of the model's face.








4 short poses.

Drawing Ch 6 Project 1 Part 1

Drawing a seated figure. I feel the proportions are wrong but the general demeanour is OK. Its not a particularly good likeness of my model either.

Drawing Ch 6: select from one of four projects.

Of the four possibles (Drawing the Figure; Drawing and Photography: Plans and Elevations or Drawing with Collage) I chose drawing the Figure. I felt this would be hard for me but would be of greatest benefit to my artistic development.

Drawing Ch 5 Project 5

Cubist space. The instruction was to combine several views of a familiar object in the same drawing. Since the weather was hot I went outside and drew the bird table on the lawn. Not sure if I quite got this right or if the views should have intersected..

Drawing Ch 5 Project 4

Aerial perspective. the aim is to introduce depth using tones. The view is looking north over Edinburgh to the Firth of Forth from the roof of the Museum. A2 size.

Drawing Ch 5 Project 2

Angular perspective. Drawing piles of books then adding vanishing points to check.
Two views of the work.

Drawing Ch 5 Project 1

Here I had to draw the view through a doorway inside a building then superimpose the vanishing point lines to check how accurate my eye was.

Drawing-ch4-project 2

This a view in Glen Sallach, on the east sidw of the hill behind home.
A2 size, done with pencil, charcoal, pen and ink.

Drawing-ch4-project 1

The remit for this one was an urban landscape. The main point was to use buildings wo that most lines would be straightforward. A2 size. Pencil. pen and charcoal.

Drawing-ch3-project 4

"Natural Forms"
Size A2 This an exercise to use pencil, ink and charcoal.
The objects should show some natural textures.

Drawing-ch3-project 3

9 Feb 08. (I was away from home for the latter part of December and most of January.) This is an A2 size pen-and-ink drawing. The remit was to select items from the kitchen and arrange them on a table. Then produce several practice sketches before committing to the A2 version. The reason for using ink was so that errors cannot be erased.
