Life Drawing: Spring '09 pt. 2

Night before last at life drawing class our model took us through a total of three different poses. Our tutor encouraged us to change position every 10 minutes and so obviously I ended up with multiple pov drawings of the same pose:

Pose 1





An interesting exercise that really helped me get out of the habit of judging the merit of my drawing as I drew it, and instead kept me focused on doing my best to respond to what I saw, trying to look at my subject as clearly as possible and strive to capture that on paper without prejudice or preconceptions.

Pose 2




The 10 minute intervals consistently felt like they arrived too quickly as I scrambled to get some sense of a response onto paper, frantically trying to process the information in the pose while attempting to manage the enormous amount of decision making involved in the drawing process. Tough, but enlightening.
