Flow, Form and Force.





 The four images are from Ah Push it!, a section of the clothed life drawing brief focusing on five minute studies on caputuring the human form, pushing/pulling in a space. I found this task out of the four the easiest as it was just enough time to capture the essence of the action and enough detail to capture the essence of the person. Although afterwards I re read the brief and released it was less detail required more negative space and abstract line work, although upon reflection I haven't achieved this, I believe I have take more steps to embrace the media and practice different qualities of line.














Puppet on a string.
This exercise was focusing on several line successions, of exaggerated movement but we only had a few seconds to capture each movement. Although to me it is not visually interesting in the slightest, I can understand the importance of capturing movement and how these could quickly apply to key frames in an animation.



Rhythm is a dancer.
Again another set of quick successive drawings with just a few seconds to capture key lines as someone walked across the room.



Strike a pose:
The final task named strike a pose was a series of 20 minute observations. I am most proud of the one above in ink of David from the course, because as a person he is instantly recognisable where as I think I haven't captured the other three as well. I tried to focus on quality of line rather than detail.

Overall this brief came naturally to me as it was merely an extension to much faster tasks done in foundation, so I don't think this process meant as much to me as it did the first time round. I much prefer actual life drawing with a board and nice paper and nice material and a couple of hours to work on a piece.
