Camera Heist

Okay so I have finally comandiered somebodys camera briefly and have taken some photos. I apologize for posting so many times today, I'm just all excited, but this shall be the final one. Promise.I apologize for the bad quality photos, they kept trying to rol up, so I was fighting to stop the drawings hiding themselves while photographing. So here are the results of yesterdays Life drawing for you all to see:

These 3 photos are of the first 10 drawings we did. They  were short poses, only about a minute or two each, and we had to use soft media like charcal or pastel, though i did one or two with my graphite stick. i really dislike short poses due to often not having enough time to finish, and rarely finding time to add detail or tone.

These two drawings were done without looking at the paper. They were about 10 minutes each I think, and It was very odd, as you wernt sure where you were on the paper, and if you lifted your hand from the paper you were imediatly lost. For the second one, we were allowed two glance, and mine went okay until i did the second leg. By then I had used my two glances and so there was much overlapping. this exercise was meant to teach us o looka the the model or subject more, which is an important part of drawing because often many people, myself included took at the paper more than the model, and you miss things, little details and you draw things incorrectly.

This final  drqawing we were told we had 2 minutes for, but due to lack of time we only got 10. We were allowed to use any media we wanted and were told we could draw however we wished. so I grabbed a biro, because recently I have reall been into biro. unfortunatly i didnt get much done, but this is my favourite drawing of the day as its the most acurate and I had time on my side.
I got to see everyone elses drawings too, and loads were brilliant. we really have a good class with lots of awesome styles. Derek (one of our teachers, who does lots of storyboarding etc) was joining in with the life drawing and his drawings were pretty spectacular. Sometimes when he finished a drawing and had ime left he would draw some of us students. I hope that when I get as far in animation as he is, that I can draw that well.

And finally, the other monkey drawings for the Toy story assignment. i know i was supposed to do twenty, but that was a rough number and it was supposed to be an hour a day, so I think mine are enough. I quite like some of them aswell. Enjoy:
