Evaluation

For this module, I found that drawing from life is the best way to learn about perspective and form of the figure. I need to improve on using these poses in other pieces of work, and improving on them by putting them into locations. I feel that with more time or concentrated energy, I will be able to achieve this. By having a 'catalogue' of poses, it makes it easier to refer to when creating a narrative with figures, or stand alone pieces.

out and about

people and dogs on Instow beach
Waiting for the train, in victorian station at exeter. The use of horizontal lines created a curve when panaramic and adds interest.
using a wide calligrahicic pen 


ive started making smaller sketchbooks which are easier to transport. from these sketches, i'll make bigger pieces or make a narration. I really enjoy drawing from life and sketching on location.
I want to look into this for my 3rd year intention.

Mummy

Here, there is the victim, crouching and flinching away from the Mummy, who has arms outstretched and stiff fingers.
I tried to focus on the tendons of the hands to make it look like bone and sinew. 



clasping the head or hiding the face is a common submissive pose. The sketch to the right is a good base for a further sketch that involves the Mummy character as well. I used the light from the door and emphasised it to make it dynamic and impressive.

narrative


we watched a scene from ‘the third man’, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvnjHevRceQ and noted the different camera angles and scenes which added tension and anxiety as Harry Lime was being chased. 
We started in the studio and drew the model in various poses. 




There was a lot of diagonal lines
