Before this class, I have had a similar class to this. I knew some of what to expect, but not really. I find the class more detailed on certin areas of the body like the rib cage.   I find I have a lot of weaknesses when drawing the body. I have done one drawing of a rib cage that looked good.

I really like have a big block of time in the class to work on drawings. It is also nice that you don’t harass us about having our pencil to the page every single second of time of the drawing.  I find it good to have a break to walk around and see what other peoples’ drawing views, and see how there drawing are coming along.

By the end of the class, I would like to be able to draw what is the hardest parts of the body, like the hands, feet and head. I’ve really never found any good way to draw any of those parts of the body

 

Last week we watch a video on the rib cage. On thursday we did some longer poses of  a 1/2 hour each. This was nice beacuse you can relax and take your time to get the drawing right. Posted here is my drawing of a body part. I  had a hard time going from the contour drawing of the shell to a contour drawing on a person. 

Since this class has stated, we've begun putting clay on our models. The 1st day I found out hat the clay was hard to put on. Over that weekend I went and got some quick-grip clamps to hold the model down while I put clay on it.  Things went alot smother with the model and the quick-grips.   

As we have gotten into this class, I ran in Thomas one day in the printer room. I talked to him for a while and he seams nice this was on the week of Sept 25. I haven't talked to Jenny yet out side of class since I haven't seen her around.  

For the weekend Sept 19/20 we had to do contour drawings of a shell found on a beach. This had to take 3 hours to finish. Mine ended up taking almost a full 3 hours to plan out and finish. I think it looks just ok compared others that we did small group critque with.
