Figure Drawing 1 Week 2

Week 2 Recap-
We used the 2" and 3" scales to draw multiple poses and focus on the vertical proportions of the figure. After much practice, we moved to sighting and blocking in a figure through a simpler process. We also tried some meditative line exercises. First a Line Economy exercise, which is the assignment for homework. Students should draw 7 total figures using lines in various amounts 1:3:7:13:7:3:1.
