Reflection: Week One

This is a watercolor painting by Sara Stites.

I thought this first week was fun. Everything we did was new to me so I learned a lot about the shape of the skull. Drawing the skull was challenging, but I enjoyed getting to know it. I think mapping out the skull in clay helped me understand how the parietal bones work.

Introduction

I signed up for life drawing two because I knew how much life drawing one furthered my abilities drawing the human body. As of now I have a fairly good understanding of how to draw the figure, however I look forward to becoming comfortable with the face and bone structure as well. I am studying painting as my concentration so I expect that life drawing two will aid in that development too.
