Well the semester is ending and our Life Drawing I class is coming to a close. In this our final blog of the semester our focus is looking back and reflecting on all we’ve learned.
I can’t speak for anyone else but in reading other students blog entries I have to think most would agree it’s been an educational experience. I think for me the obstacle I found it hardest to overcome was drawing without outlines.
As far as what I have learned I guess, after again looking at my sketch pad in chosen images for my Midterm portfolio, this time with a more critical eye, my main expectation then for the rest of the semester was to follow directions, always include the ribcage, pelvis, and long axis in my drawing and work/draw slowly. To this end I think I have followed through with what I expected of myself although the slowing down I think tended to hurt me in gesture drawings.
While not a required class, being an art major with a concentration in multimedia with an interest in 3D modeling/Animation, I’m sure the things I learned will aid greatly in portraying not only my characters in a more realistic form but aid in creating their movements also.
In conclusion, while I found Life Drawing I extremely challenging I throughly enjoyed the class and believe I learned a lot. I think the total extent of what knowledge I gained has yet to be realized as I’m sure someday I’ll step back from one of my drawings and say in wonder “Now where did I learn that from, yep Life Drawing I.
Here is the last of my shell drawings, I was semi pleased with the way it turned out but see a lot that could be improved and, as I said at Midterm please stop by my Final Portfolio and I look forward to any comments you care to share,
