Carrying on from a previous Sunday where I shared some of my Life Drawing, here are some more excersises I found fun and useful. Looking at movement and body posture. Drawing the same figure over and over again in different poses.
I know my proportions are off, they always are. I'm more concerned with mark making and shadow and 'feel' rather than everything perfectly in place. Some of the professors teaching us were very particular about proportion and accuracy. This was difficult for me to listen to (you know how teachers can get sometimes... droning on and on about one aspect), but I tried to take in as much as possible and seeing all the examples of human figure drawings through the ages was exciting.
In previous sessions of drawing, I began playing with holding one colour in my right hand and one in my left, drawing with both simultaneously. Using one to correct the other and vise versa. Above are two examples of this while also trying to not use traditional lines. Very fun! I think I have some more to share- are you enjoying these?

Loved this post! I'm currently studying life drawing. (Not in school, or anything, but on my own.) It's hard but fun!
I really enjoyed this post! Have a good day!
