Life Drawing

I did life drawing yesterday, we were only allowed to use lines no tone, we had 3 and a half hours to draw. I found this difficult because my natural style of drawing is to build up tone. I used my pencil to measure the models head and used that to scale my drawing. I then drew light construction lines to get the proportions right, then I went over the correct lines harder with my pencil. I am pleased with my drawing I think it shows an accurate representation of the model. I am looking forward to the next life drawing class, I thoroughly enjoy drawing the human form.

In contextual studies I hav been learning about Art Nouveau. I particularly like this poster advertising 'Job' rolling paper, the long flowing organic hair of the woman is typical of the Art Nouveau style.
