Sphere Homework (Week 6)
This week in the Life Drawing class, we were tasked with drawing spheres with lighting. As I mentioned before, I felt like I'd done the task well, and that I'd manage to capture the lighting of a sphere fairly accurately. I think the feedback I got from this was positive, and it seemed as though I'd gotten the task done well.

In the actual Life Drawing, I think I've gotten some progress from where I began. Initially, I really struggled to keep up with the speed of the 60 second or 5 minute tasks, and I would end up with "dead" drawings. I was still struggling to get through a drawing with any detail.
Now, if I've made progress, I think it's in how I see my struggles with Life Drawing. It comes down to a few issues. Firstly, and Importantly, I have a lot of trouble with perspective , such as the drawing below (Image 3), where you can see in Mike's illustration that I still tend to push the perspective too far up, and then end up with a warped drawing.

The other problem that I have with life drawing is seeing body proportions through simple shapes. I've had trouble with these shapes for a while, and it's visible in the image below, where you can see that I don't really know where to start in terms of shapes, and end up with poor proportions.

In the class on the Second of November, we began doing body tone studies, where we'd draw out more form and shading onto our life drawings. I was relatively happy with the result in the image below, although I do still see many flaws in my drawings.

The next task is to draw shaded spheres in perspective. I hope this helps me further understand perspective in my drawing.
