Week 10 Life Drawing & Basic Human Anatomy: Movement


This week our theme was movement so I started by drawing some 10min sketches of the model as he took various poses. The first drawing shown above of the model twisting around shows allot of movement as the figure seems to be very flexible. One reason for this is the twist that the model has posed as it shows many stretch lines and marks along the body which helped to capture his movement and using the loose drawing style of a quick outline and then scribbling the muscles and wrinkles in to get a basic idea of the models form which can then be worked on in greater detail given time.

The second drawing which is on the same image as the first is of the model holding a pole. This was quite an interesting drawing as the model took an attacking stance as if he was going into battle with the pole which gave him an unexpected centre of gravity. If you were to draw a line down the centre of the models torso it would put his centre of gravity slightly to the left, although this looks strange I believe that it is true as the model is simple compensating for the weight of the pole on his right side.

The final drawing in the second image on the right is of the same model resting one leg on a stool. This drawing also uses the loose scribbling technique as the previous two drawing but due to the five extra minutes given for this particular pose allowed me to add extra detail to the drawing. The centre of gravity for the model in this drawing is just behind the models left leg, I believe that this is due to the fact that he is slightly leaning backwards to rest his right foot on the seat of the stool.
