Contour Drawing (1-28-09)

I have done a bit of contour drawing here and there, but this still proved to be a challenge. I guess the slower pace of this drawing threw me for a loop. Some of my lines are well thought out, but others appear more random than they should. I was paying attention to the curvatures of the models back, but somehow it did not come out the way I wanted to. Oh well, time to learn and get better!

5 Minutes, 3 Minutes, 30 Seconds

The frantic pace of life drawing is something a bit new to me, and I like it. There is no time to second guess, you just go with it. There is a progression of detail in my drawings, going from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Perhaps some of the line weight could have become more varied, especially on the 5 minute drawing on the left (the foot should be even darker I think). I am pleased with the general forms and proportions I produced, although not perfect by any means.
