Fashion + Textiles week:
Life Drawing: i really enjoyed my day of life drawing, the wide range of techniques, materials and methods i used was really liberating and fun. We started off doing 5 5min drawings on top of eachother on a sheet of paper, i used a different pen each time and i was really pleased with the outcome, although i did not at the time enjoy drawing over my first drawing the final result was worth it. We next did some drawings where we explored ways in which to keep the proportions of the model correct, we did this by holding up our pen and using our thumb to make a measurement of the head and then count how many heads fit into her body. we then mapped out say 5/6 sections on the page (it was similar to gridding techniques) which was really helpful because proportion is something i usually mess up. we then tried drawing the model standing up with the paper on the floor using a piece of charcoal tied to the end of a bamboo stick which was really fun, it made me think about the movement and positioning of my whole body a lot more than usual.
