Life Drawing

Our life drawing class this week was focused around expressive and free movement. As a warm up exercise we had draw our model contiously as she danced around the room, without pausing. At first I found this quite daunting as I was struggling to draw her quick enough. However after doing a few sketches of her I felt more comfortable, and I was able to make marks quicker. I became less worried about getting the correct proportions and more concerned about making gestural loose lines which captured the essence of her movement. I had a lot of fun doing these drawings, and will challenge myself to do this more for example drawing people on a street.
