Life Drawing: Lesson 2



5 minute drawings. 3b pencil.



10 minute sketch.



 This is the same pose as the above sketch, however this time
 we had to simplify the body down to simple shapes, as if
were an armature.



For this exercise we were to focus on the contours of
the body. By drawing rings around the body, it helps
show these contours. To imagine it, it would be as
the model was wearing a skin tight striped suit.

Same pose, different points of view. Rotation exercise.

 

Poses captured by observing a clip of Fred Astaire dancing in the film, Easter Parade. Skip to 6:21
in the video below to see the part of the dance from which drew these sketches.
