Final Project – Self-portrait

The final project for Drawing II was to draw a real-size selfportrait.
I chose to explore very contrasting lights and shadows over an assumed painted paper.

Animals and Metamorphosis

These drawings are from Drawing II. For some weeks the class went to the Natural History Museum to draw the animals. Then we had to incorporate those drawings with previous human figure drawings.

Scientific Illustration

These drawings are from an introduction class to scientific illustration in Drawing I. We had to pick a natural element and draw some sketches (bottom) for about 30-40 minutes. Then we had to draw the final version (top) on A2 sized paper with pen only

for about 1h30.

Outline Sketches

This module in Drawing I was about contour and inside contour.
The objective was practicing drawing accurately without erasing.
At first the drawings took a long time in order to resemble the object. They then started to take less time and it was only a step from contour drawing to sketching quickly with a pen and taking
in the key features.
The landscape took 30 minutes, the hands were about 2 minutes each (hand). The objects took about 15 minutes and the people took 5 minutes or less per drawing.
