Getting serious... as for our models for sure...one of the last lessions have brought for me for sure something challenging and new.
This was a live model, not from our class, but the one who strikes poses for pupils arround the drawing lessions in town and really has an intresting body to draw... don't misunderstand it but the tense skin of a supermodel and the balanced outline of her's would be just hundred times easier to draw and wouldn't require so much attention in exicuting the details. Whereas she did challange me to do so.
The anatomy also counts a lot in accomplishing the drawing, so that the proportions of the face and body were a though point for me.
Firstly, the eye and the ears meant something misterious for me and did not want to fit till the second lession, however I would not say that they look perfect now, but measuring it to my skills and the beggining they do look more alive and less monster-like.
The rest of the body was quite okay for me, so I would not complain for that.

Portrait
First of all lets begin with the subject of the blog which covers 3 lessions, themed as Portrait.
I really had time indeed to observe my 'victims' face and their head as we were 2draw portraits for 3lessions...
The thing which has really striked on me was that I realized that I even would not be able to draw my face by hearth. You really need a rather stiff modell to copy from and to measure the proportions on the page. That was one of the most difficult things to do,to line up my modell. Due to the 3 opportunities I also picked 3 models. 2of them I draw without colour and one was painted.
The technique in this context was really new to me, but the mixing of colours has dawn on me and the use of layers indicated a new kind of skill for me: the ability to present almost all the colurs by mixing various pigments.
As for the execution I suggest that I came closer to have the kind of view and eye towards looking at faces now at a situation when it is about to draw them, however it does not mean that I am the finest drawer but just simply the fact that I'm looking for those lines and characteristics on the face which count at the proper drawing of them.
