Life Drawing : After 6 months, no real improvement !

Zeb — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:30:00 -0700

As you might have observed I'm taking more and more time to post the results of my drawing classes. Well, for the last few months I participated in the courses with less attendance than at the beginning, and certainly I do not necessarily spend the entire 3 hours of the class in order to preserve a little bit of family life during those evening. But it is clear to me that my drawings are not showing any particular improvements. I think I really need to study my anatomy books again and to focus a little more on theory as well as participating to the class. Another great excuse: drawing at the end of a full work day does not offer the best conditions to draw. So I promised to myself to relax a little before joining the class. Let see next time I will post if there is any sort of progress.

I decided to join the life drawing classes offered by Dreamworks. This class is a 3 hours weekly session teached by Karl Gnass . Let's face it, I'm REALLY bad at that, I just hope to make some progress and that's why I will keep posting those galleries monthly, in order to put pressure on myself and also to see if I will effectively progress.

Life Drawing 3rd month : worst than last month !

It's been a little over a month and a half since the last post on my drawing lessons. Because of the Christmas break, there was no classes and this interruption is obviously the only reason that my drawings are of poor quality. Seriously I hesitated to post because It was difficult for me to find sketches showing any progress. Let's say I've been tired and I had a slight difficulty concentrating lately . On the other hand notice that the last 4 pictures of the series are 30 seconds speed posing (the rest being 5, 10 or 15 minutes), and finally I find them more interesting , maybe I should dig more in this direction doing really quick sketches even during longer pose.

Life Drawing 2nd month ...still bad !!

There is one thing I really like about Dreamworks : they provide for free a lot of extra events, classes and services you don't have in many studios. I decided to join the life drawing classes last month. This class is a 3 hours weekly session teached by Karl Gnass .

Let's face it, I'm REALLY bad at that, I just hope to make some progress and that's why I will keep posting those galleries monthly, in order to put pressure on myself and also to see if I will effectively progress. If for any reason you think those bad drawings are polluting this blog more than anything, thanks to let me know or maybe try to help me out and give me some advices :). So far I know that my proportion are not great, and I have a hard time to represent volume in space, everything look too flat and I pay too much attention to little details rather than the action lines and the general posing.
