Reflection of Ten Minute

When I compared my two ten minute drawings to Professor Fitchers I saw a lot in common yet quite a few differences.  Some of the main differences were line value and thickness, outlining, and accuracy of proportion. In my drawings I try to use a variance of value, yet often I get too dark and thick. I feel that I need to lighten up at first and slowly add more.  Also, I 've been using the axis lines and trying to to not outline at all.  Sometimes I do decide to add in a few outlines to allow me to line up areas along the body and differentiate outside area from the body. 

I feel that adding the egg for the ribcage area really assists in getting the correct proportion. Adding cross-contour lines, especially around the ribcage and pelvic area, allows for understanding of placement and angle.  By placing the pubic bone, pelvic crest, C7, and sacrum, the drawing becomes more realistic. In the ten minutes, details aren't as important as placement and accuracy.  I have been getting  really good at composition. The figures fit directly on the page. I normally start by finding the center of the body and the center of the page.  Proportion is always difficult but visually measuring has been working well.  I've improved my skills of completing accurate drawings in the short time of ten minutes.
