Class Reflection

Throughout this semester, Life Drawing class has allowed me to gain a variety of skills.  The combination of hand drawn pieces, creating the muscles with clay and using the internet as a digital sketchbook have all played important roles in succeeding in this class. Using the blog keeps everything very organized and professional.  Oral critiques in class would be beneficial rather than just leaving comments on each others blogs.  I feel that their is a lot of potential for the blogs yet I learn better seeing my drawing and gaining an in person critique.  

My drawing skill seems to be improving. The whole process has become somewhat involuntary.  Without thinking about drawing value or weight, I automatically see this on the figure and translate it onto my paper.  Another issue I have is composing the figure on the page.  I tend to draw large and almost to the edge of the paper.  I've shrank down the size a bit and can now have room around the figure that I've created.  This space is needed for adjustments and just to have white space in the composition.
