Week 5 :Life Drawing, Human Anatomy and Proportion


Week 5 was a refresher on the basics of human anatomy as shown above. This week was mainly concentrated on proportions and how weight can be shown within a drawing. The image on the left has been drawn mainly to show weight from the man leaning on his arms. Looking back at this drawing its proportion is off due to the size of his head. This was mainly due to the 10 minute limit, although quick measuring could also be a culprit.
The second drawing of the man standing up straight with good posture shows great proportions due to the amount of time spent measuring and planning the drawing on the page. The figure’s height was counted as 7 heads tall whilst measuring. For this drawing a new technique of quickly getting the main features and curves down before choosing the line of best fit was used, this created a neater and more attractive drawing. The figure’s muscles are emphasized due to the fact that there is more detail on certain areas of his body. (10 minutes each)
