I have just come from another life drawing session, which was quite different to all the rest, as we didn't actually have a model. As a solution, our teacher found a skeleton in the cupboard :D and posed it ,as best as he could on the stage. The exercise was very difficult, as i found drawing skeletons to be much more meticulous that drawing flesh. It was much easier to measure however as all the joints and bones were visible. We did an exercise in accelerated drawing, so our first pose was 40 minutes, second was 30, and etc. until the last pose which was only 5 minutes long. The less time we had, the less i concentrated on drawing the skeleton structure and more on the actually pose and shape of the body. These poses are quite different, in an unrealistic way. Most real human poses have a sense of weight, which shows through the figure, whereas the skeleton is supported by its stand, and therefore hangs weightlessly or rather limp, when stood upright. Here are my drawings from this week, in the order that i drew them in :
