The joys of drawing naked people

I have to say, I never ever used to think about life drawing or anything of the kind before I started the foundation year, but at the end of the year I found myself loving it. I now understand the importance of proportion and learning new drawing techniques. Even after doing this for over a year, the idea of drawing naked people for a few hours a week is still hilarious to my mum. So anyway, a few weeks into life drawing again for Game Art and i'm still loving it and I love the fact that I still have the same two life drawing models as last year too. One of my favorite parts about life drawing is the warming up drawings that we do, and my absolute favorite part is in fact the blind drawings!

Aren't they great! Reminds me a bit of Picasso. One of the reasons why i love doing these so much is because it's a great way of getting the feeling of the pose and proportion without having to worry about if it looks good or not. It's the same with drawing with the opposite hand, who cares if it looks good it's fun and helps to warm up to a proper drawing. 

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the most amazing person at drawing and it takes me a really long time to finish anything, just for me to realise it's all wrong, but hey, what would be the point in doing this course if I was perfect at everything? I'm looking forward to another 3 years of life drawing so I can gradually improve on my drawing skill!
