Class Summary

Upon entering class the first day, I wasn't really expecting anything because I had never talked to anyone who had the class before. Drawing from a model has probably been the most challenging thing so far and close behind that would be the building onto mannequins with clay. I consider model drawing the most challenging because before this class I was pretty bad at drawing a figure and keeping proportions correct. I was unaware we would be exploring as much detail as we have so far into the human body and the anatomy of each muscle group. That in itself has made the class even more interesting than any other drawing class I have had.

I feel my figure drawings in both the long poses and gesture drawings, just keep getting better. I also think that building the clay mannequins isn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be, as long as you don't fall behind on anything. As long as I keep improveing on whatever I do in the class, I will be very satisfied when the class is over and will attempt to continue exploring figure drawing long after. Drawing the figure is much more interesting and challenging than drawing boring old still life, not that drawing still life isn't important too. =P

As I am a graphic designer, drawing a figure isn't so important as having some of the important skills on a computer, but I still take the class seriously and try to improve myself more in the drawing department.
