Life Drawing Final Session Part 2

Finally today we had to draw 12 poses of the model, which showed the action of bending down to pick up an item and then releasing it, here are my sequential drawings:

An additional part of this task was to then photograph each drawing and put them together into a flowing video to show the action:

Life Drawing Final Session Part 1

Today I had my final Life Drawing session, in which we did some warm up drawings shown below:

Then we had to capture the movement of the model through animated drawings. Here are my results:

Additionally we had to draw a series of poses to show movement in our drawings, using coloured pencils in some of them to differentiate between the drawings:

Ballerina Dancing Movements

Ballerina Dancing across a Page, linking each backward foot with the front foot on the previous drawing to stress the dancing movement.

Here we had to draw a series of poses of  an animated character leaning to pick something up and releasing it, using the model only as a reference for the movements.

Drawing from Life

Today I completed my first session of life drawing. The first task included drawing from five different poses in 30 seconds and then drawing from five different poses in one minute. I found this first task very difficult as by the time I had drawn one part of the person, the time was up. This was just the warm up task to get the drawings to flow better when we completed the ten minute drawings.

I feel that I became much more successful when I started to do ten minute drawings. Also my tutor gave me the advice of measuring the models head using my pencil and then counting how many times her head measurement went into the rest of her body. Allowing me the potential to get the right proportions. After each slot of time, the model would change her stance/position.

Here are my ten minute drawings from this first session:
