Life Drawing

5th March 2013 -
Today we have been doing life drawing, starting off by arranging our easels around the model so we could each get a different angel.

First of all we drew in pencil on newsprint paper and had a time limit for about 20 minutes, as soon as we finished drawing we put a fresh paper of newsprint on the easel and drew the model in charcoal.
Once we finished each drawing we turned round our easels so everybody could see your drawings, this way we could get an idea of what everyone else's style and perspective was.

After break we went to the library to get information about Leonardo Da Vinchi to find out how he measured the human body and what techniques he used, we took this in and used a similar technique for us to use.

As soon as that was over we had to change over and put brown paper onto the easel, we carried on drawing in charcoal put only had ten minutes to draw three then we drew another three but had a tine limit of five minutes.
