Life Drawing Overview

OBJECTIVES

Symmetry The body demonstrates consistent symmetry despite a pose that might be oblique , dynamic, asymmetrical, or foreshortened.

Proportion The body demonstrates solid proportional logic hands, heads, legs, feet, torso, all seem unified and belonging to the same figure.

Proportion The body demonstrates solid proportional logic hands, heads, legs, feet, torso, all seem unified and belonging to the same figure.

Composition Your composition is structured to create unity-it seems intentional and well balanced rather than hap-hazard and accidental. The figure is well situated within the rectangle/square and all space is unified.

Chiaroscuro: You are able to use light and dark value (highlight and shadow) to create the illusion of volume and form. Additionally, you are able to accurately indicate an understanding of human anatomy and muscle through the careful observation of the model and render this accurately

Space Your work shows an understanding of the space and context that surrounds the figure and you are able to provide a convincing window into the perceived reality.
