mummy walking, got the movement of stiff movements like a mummy.

need to add face in mostly all my drawing I always try and not add the face but need to add it to the body because it can also describe the action.

enlarging the hands to make her look more intimating, making it more scary. 
like the black out line on the pose gave a shadow effect on the body. 

looming over someone, intimating. 

using black pen instead of pen, adding the shadows to the body help define the body and the action of the pose.



scared, horrified found that i described it very well in the pose and shadow helped illuminate the model 


drawing around the model help describe the mood of the action and sometime not adding everything you see if better

main part of the action is what the hands are doing and making sure i get the drawing of the fingers right to tell us the action.

looking at shadows again not just on the figure but around her


balance. In each drawing getting the position of the body to look like she is balancing. missing the feet at the bottom need to make drawing smaller to get on page
balance on the body, however need to get all on a page still missing parts but getting the position right 

the line doesn't flow well around her body, I have describe the position that well

work on the form a bit more, the arm looks fine however the rest i don't think works the same, keep going over the same area.
helpful to put in some guidelines to get the proportion and found the rest of the body was easier to put together.  

make sure it fits on a page, probably be easier if i put a boarder around the page and see if i can get the whole body on the page.





found it easier in pen was more confidence in my lines and i was think twice if i got the shape wrong


these two went well, added the right information to describe the figure. adding the hair as well gave more of the direction she looking





drawing outside with clothing on, harder to describe what she was doing however adding in elements around her made her position on the page tell you what is happening. 
adding the element help describe what is happen. doing quick studies help me describe her movement without adding bits that doesn't help describing what see doing.

starting to put everything on a page, doesn't look like she on the wood look like she hovering over top, need to make it look like she is standing on the wood better

quick drawings and moving around to get different view point of the same pose, it is easier to describe what is happening. Confidence with what I'm drawing however need to try and adapt to using one line instead of several lines.

tried a sweeping effect with only one line drawing but i didn't get the clothing or the hand and feet in however i think i capture the movement. 
trying to cut done on the amount of pencil lines on an area, should try using pen it might help stop doing several lines.



adding ropes work well in the drawing it show what she is doing.

quick studies on the same pose to get different direction and what the pose look like.
space more on the page

need to add the head make it more define not quick lines.

describing a place with only a small view/ focus point. 
quick drawing of the whole park view.
need to speed up on drawings on a person then I be able to get the person in a movement and not missing the face.

ripples in the water, would be better if it look realistic
foot prints, drawing in pen more confidence find that I look into depth to see what area to capture.

shadows, look abstract and can't tell what it is, but I don't think this is any use in describing the location.

working on the faces doesn't look realistic but getting use to look at the face and drawing them.

thumbnail to put all the focus points into a image.

working small scale in a book, making sure getting the whole body on the page and not missing the hands or feet.

not getting the proportion right on the body, the legs are too short need to be longer but I'm getting the position on the body right.  

only using one line to draw the figure instead doing several lines for the body, it was easier to get the curves on her body.
Prefer the left drawing to the right.

looks robotic, the model look stiff there no movement.

Nigel Farage

Drawing the shadows/ tones of Nigel Farage clay model as well drawing from different views to get the shadows.
using ink to get the shadows, hard to draw from clay, getting the shape of the face.
using wash ink was easier to show where the light and dark areas on the face and looking at the different angles of the face found angles that are easier to draw from then other but still having ago like the right draw, found that i don't like how the it came out when drawing. It is too dark and it doesn't describe the face as i want it to.
drawing in pencil was easy because i was scribbling for the dark areas however it doesn't describe the texture of the clay which would of been good if i could draw it.
these was quick drawing found them to show more of the expression on the face then the others. think working quick i am better at describing the expression and getting the detail i need.
on the left drawing I started to blacken more of the shadow to see if it would be dramatic however I don't think it went well at all, I was using ink so if I wanted more of a dramatic effect I think it would be better to us pen or paint.
