Midterm Reflection

    We're half way through the semester and  I feel my drawing skills have slightly increased. I'm starting to fell more confident in gesture drawings and the form in general. I feel that my drawing speed and content have improved. 30 second gesture drawings are starting to come much easier than they first did at the beginning of the semester. However, I feel my proportion and form can use some improvements. After learning about the muscles then applying it to our manikins, I found this to be very helpful in being able to actually picture what they look like on the body and what they actually do. I'm excited to see what's the next thing we learn about and then apply to the manikin. Another thing I feel I could work on is my cross contour drawings. After doing the shell homework, I felt that my drawing wasn't bad, but could defiantly use some fine tuning. After having a critique I learned I really need to work on not outlining my forms as much, also I need to work on my long axis and show better plan change. I am excited to have another go at the shell drawings. I will try my best to improve on the things we talked about during the critique, as well as pushing form and details of my shell. I'm excited to see what the rest of the semester will bring, I know that with more practice and time my drawing will improve.

  1. I too am very excited to get another go at the shell drawings. I feel that I learned a lot in the small critiques that she held, and I feel that the second batch of shell drawings are going to be much improved for everyone. I also find myself being able to draw faster during the gesture drawings and feeling more confident about what I am doing. I think that our confidence of figure drawers is only going to improve throughout the rest of the semester!
