76 in Life Drawing (Distinction)
79 in General Drawing (Distinction)
I am gob smacked with Life Drawing - I struggled with this subject from the start, I tore myself apart (I think it made me stronger and more determined). It was not until mid way through 1:2 that I really thought I was starting to get my head around it, now I really really enjoing it.... don't get me wrong, I still come home and can't wait to gulp down that first glass of red ;) but now it's due to satisfaction and almost a little Tuesday night ritual :)
I have been put on a mission by my younger sister (Nell) through these hol's... a presi for her Mother in Law's 70'th Birthday. A Charcoal of her Husbands Grandfather....... I have kind of give up on this piece as the corrections are too great to fix (wish I saw them before now)... I have therefore started on another, much happier, need it finished by Monday ahhhhhhhhh... Mark has gone to Samoa for the weekend, so no Charlie sitter at all...I guess I have evenings.
I think it is harder than I cld have imaged doing a drawing of someone who I have never met.... I feel it lacks personality (unfortunately). Although feeling I am capturing a little more of him in the second drawing. When you start looking into someones eyes as often as you do as you are drawing them or even sculpting, you begin to feel their inner self - disturbing, but somewhat satisfying. You beging to feel yourself smiling back at them...... Thank you Michael, for giving me the opportunity to get to know your Grandad :) I have really enjoyed the last week.
