final Portrait

Last blog paragraph

In Life Drawing this semester I believe that I have improved on my drawing abilities. Starting this class I drew object on what I believe that I saw and mainly using outside lines trying to capture the assents. This class has really helped me drawing shapes, looking for landmarks on the body and with proportion. 

What this class has also helped me is working on variations of lines weights, because when I start I really only drew with same line weights and my drawings really did not look in perspective. I have learned to see the three plans of every object and trying to implement shading using the plans. Another thing that i have learned from this class is that the body is not all organic curves but there are strait lines. 

With the new techniques that I have learned I have been able to show distances in my drawings. For example in the bottoms final bold picture I use different line weight to give the illusion of perspective. 

In the class the manikin helped me a lot when it came to understanding muscles and how they look. Before the class I thought I new the human body alright, but when working with the manikin I was able to really see how many different varieties of muscles in different locations of the body. The manikin really helped me see how muscles attacked to the different joints. 

In the end I have learned a lot from this class and hope that it shows in my future drawings.
