Week 1

Observation - People

For our first few tasks, we were asked to draw our peers using continuous line and blind contour techniques, in small amounts of time. These tasks were a really fun warm up to do, and I feel as I warmed up my drawings got better, as shown from Imogen to Michael in my continuous line page.

After these tasks, we were asked to draw ourselves from observation, and drawing ourselves without physically drawing ourselves. Due to a lack of mirror to draw myself, I chose a photo I took of myself and drew myself using graphite pencils. I chose to keep it sketchy and loose, to enjoy trying to get the perspective and anatomy right of myself rather then focusing on minor details. I did the same with the other piece, enjoying drawing my dog and adding fun bits rather than focusing on little details and detail. Overall, I really enjoyed these tasks, although I wish I had done them on separate pieces of paper as to make them bigger and add more to them.
