MON. 4/30 The Figure

Alisha Ascencio

The M/W class made life drawings from a female model. We began with some 5 min. warm-up drawings moving into 15 and 20 min. studies in proportion. Alisha's drawing above exhibits strong attention to the proportions of the model as well as the diagonals in the pose. When drawing from the figure it is important to compare and contrast the various parts of the body. For instance the relative placement of the hand on the stool, the height of the hand to the breasts and the knees to the shoulders.
