This week we focused heavily on the face and drawing hands. It was very interesting to draw a close-up profile of another person. I have never been able to do this. I got to draw my roommate, Elizabeth, profile and hands.
What I did well:
This week I feel that I did better drawing the second set of hands. This may be because I was more warmed up or because the second pose was better (in my opinion). I feel that the hands are a very interesting form to draw. They are very difficult because every finger has three joints and they each have a different direction.
What I could improve on:
I think that there is a couple of things that I could improve on for next week. For example, I think that I should try to practice more on drawing the hands and developing cross-contours around the hand to show the different planes. Also I really need to improve how I draw hair. In one of Amy's Lectures she said to draw hair as a form rather than lines. She added that the individual hairs can be placed around the face where they are more noticed. I think that I need to practice this throughout my drawings. And research examples, how other artists depict hair. I think that doing these thing will really help my drawing skills.
Future Goal:
My goal for next week is to really look at the face and try to draw the facial features as close as possible. I think that this would be very interesting to discover what/how a person looks the way that they do.
