Today's life drawing, was focused on different representations of form, and we were given several exercises, such as representing the figure as basic geometric shapes and using parallel hatching, as a way of depicting form. I didn't want to do the box exercise, as I didn't feel it was challenging enough for me, it seems quite boring, but I did try the hatching technique and actually quite enjoyed it. Here are 3 drawing's from today's session, the first two took 40 minutes each, and the last one was 25-30 minutes, because the model was late, we got less time to draw this week.
I think the most successful one is the hatching drawing, as it really gives a sense of mass and volume, which was the aim. It is good to get out of your comfort zone, when it comes to drawing, because that way we force our eyes to see differently, we start drawing what's actually in front of us instead of drawing what our brain thinks something should look like.
