Life Drawing

Life Drawing

                using Charcoal

This is my first life drawing of model in the lesson. I really enjoyed life drawing because I got to learn more about drawing lines and shapes, tones and shadows. I drew this picture by using charcoal. I inspired Degas's life drawing that's why I drew the style of his which shown deep shapes and lines. I like his life drawing because they are very simple, he didn't use very thick line and shown the simple shapes of the body of the human that he drawn. I'm very pleased with my first life drawing of using charcoal. I thought it is going to be hard and it turned out pretty cool so I'm happy with my work. Life drawing is really interesting drawing because it is primary drawing. I drew the model who is laying down on the bed with white sheet. Drawing with charcoal is much better than pencil because I can do shading and shadows properly.

This is my second drawing of life drawing in the lesson by using Charcoal. This time model is sitting on the chair putting her hands between her thighs. This one is a bit challenging for me because it is hard to draw of the model sitting down rather than lying on the bed. So I found it quiet difficult of drawing on this one, it was also quite hard to do measurement of the whole body but at the end, final outcome is all right so I am quiet happy with this but I like my first picture more because it is showing the expression of the model by the way she lie down on the mattress. I really enjoyed today life drawing and this experienced taught me how to measure the human body in many different ways.
