The following images that are shown below are my progressions with drawing at life, mix of techniques have been used in order for me to observe life all around.
During my free time I have attended the life drawing class that happens every week at the university, an introverted person such as I would find it difficult to go out to pubs, beach or park to draw other people due to the fears of them approaching me and angrily asking: “Why are you drawing me? Did you get my permission?” And so down below are the drawings I have made during the life drawing class or at home where I have used my wooden mannequin as model
Next at uni I have also done painting, so I have experimented with color on live objects
Of course, my curiosity didn’t end there, I have next taken the two drawings in Photoshop and played around with the colors thus in the end getting totally different moods and atmospheres within the environment
The below images are the works I have done at uni and all the techniques vary from drawing with the weaker hand, straight observational drawings, charcoal drawings, basic outline drawing and drawing through the objects
In addition to all my work above, two renowned artists really inspired me and influenced me within my work produced. To start off, Leonardo da Vinci, his most appreciated work by me and produced by him has got to be the Vitruvian Man, image below of a man with 4 arms and 4 legs. His work influenced mine in such a way to give more detail to all my live drawings. The other artist whom has influenced my work is Michelangelo, his style use of waves within his drawing elavates the souls within his work and thus greatly influenced me in my paintings most of all. Because I wanted to use waves.
