Figure Drawing

Today was my first time drawing the figure of a person and it was interesting to say the least. We began by drawing very basic sketches of the model in various poses in order to practice drawing the main components of the human body in the right poses. The ribs, hips, arms, legs, neck and head are all the most important body parts and so I drew those, with lines for the table when necessary. Next we began to add more of the body to the frame to begin making the drawings look a bit more realistic. Professor Rifka then showed us how to do blocking which basically we would create sections within the human body in order to show how they connect with one another. Finally, we were allowed to attempt to draw the figure of the model completely. This was fun because there was less restrictions. I think these last two drawings are my favorite however I did not feel comfortable adding in detail to the face because of how small I made the drawing. I think it would have been better to use another sheet of paper for my last drawing and add as much detail as possible.
