Life Drawing (25/11)

This is going to hurt to say, this is the first life drawing session I've been to since being back at uni, the combination of having sessions at the same time has been a bit rubbish, but now we've been getting slots for extra sessions this is the first time I've managed to get to one and I'm so very happy!

I thought I was going to be really bad, but like riding a bike or swimming you never really forget it! Will had a lot of constructive advice to give me regarding my drawing but my proportions are looking good so I was very happy with that!

This was the first warm up part, the pink 5, blue 10 and green 15 minutes. This session I wanted to use black sugar paper, white and various colour chalks to work on tones under a bright light.

This drawing was my favourite of the night, again using bright colours to create the tones. Will suggested I add in the pink because the purple was almost like a mid tone of the skin on the black paper, the pink really makes it pop out and distinguishes where the darkest points were.

This was the final drawing of the night. This time only using white to get my base lines in I used three colours (yellow, green and orange) to create full body tones. I thought the green would work best as the mids as it was a lot softer than the yellow and green. I tend to just use colours that appeal visually to me rather than the artistic way I probably should do ... hey I can't help but love those bright colours :D

I don't really know what I did to get this effect ... but I thought it looked really awesome!
