10 and 50 minute Drawings

10 Minute Drawing
The differences between my drawing and my professors were that my drawing has more outlines, less variation in all the lines, and my drawing's proportion wasn't as correct.

In this drawing, the long axis lines are visible and show the direction of the limbs. I have included outlines, but the lines probably aren't as varied in shade and width as I'd like them to be. They also seem to be a bit closed in, except through the waist.

I made sure I showed the shape of the ribcage, starting with an egg shape then moving to the cartilage and some rib forms. The pelvis is also drawn in roughly, showing where it would be in this figure. Mainly the iliac crest and the coccyx are shown. Since this is a back view, the sternum isn't included.

I should have turned my paper so that I had more room to draw. When I cropped it to make a smaller file, it looks fine, but on the large piece of paper, it looks a little strange because it's a landscape drawing on a portrait oriented piece of paper. Since this drawing was only 10 minutes long, I didn't get a chance to draw much of the platform the model was on.


50 Minute Drawing

This drawing's long axis lines were mainly lost, except to get the angle of the legs correct. The line that makes the spine is also visible. The outlines are definitely there, and I made sure to have the lines vary to show weight on the lower side of the limbs and body. Cross contour lines are visible at the base of the ribcage and the top of the pelvis.

I started the ribcage with the egg form as usual and added the curve to show where it comes around to the spine, as well as including some ribs. There are very basic marks to show where the pelvis is, including the iliac crests. The spinal erectors are shown along the back from the base of the skull down the back to the pelvis. The quadratus lumborum is also visible on the sides.

The lines drawn here have a lot of variation in shade and weight. The darker lines are where the figure meets the sheet and pillows, as well as where one of her limbs rests on another part of her body. If a limb was closer to the viewer, it will be slightly darker. The lines that make up the body are darker and more defined to show more detail and draw the eye to the muscles we've studied so far where the arms are lighter.

I made sure to turn my paper for this drawing to allow for more drawing space. This time, the figure fits better on the picture plane. Also because I had more time for this drawing, I was able to show the pillows and sheet the model was laying on, as well as draw a bit of the platform so that she wasn't just floating in space.
