Student Ambassador: Easter School [Day Two]

Today's workshop involved a life drawing session. The model struck poses that followed on from the themes associated with the work of Kaws; awkward postures that were reminiscient of grumpy or shy children. There were a variety of quick warm up tasks that challanged the individuals methods of working.

 As usual with life drawing exorsises, some images took under five minutes while others took around an hour to complete.

 The line drawing above was performed without free movment of the arms, instead we had to move our bodies in a psuedo-dance-like fashion.

 

I enjoyed the chance to join in the session, as I have not done life drawing for over a year. I feel as though my working practice has vastly improved, and I was a lot more open to trying varied methods of reference drawing. Perhaps I was also much less concerned with accuracy... which paradoxically seemed to make the anatomy easier to convey.
