ODE TO THE LIFE DRAWING CLASS

There are some really fun angles in the legs.

Look at your model,

The human body is 8 heads deep.

The span of your arms,

Finger tip to finger tip

Is the same as your height.

From wrist to elbow is the same as the length of your feet,

Look at the proportions,

Look at your model.

Feet are tricky.

What happened to her weight line?

If she wasn’t leaning on that pillar

She would fall over…….

Think of the spine

Neck to navel is about

Twice the length of

Navel to pubis.

Step back.

Take a look at your picture.

Is the head the right size?

Are  the proportions right?

Your standing model is

now sitting down.

8 heads stacked

Now 4 heads on top.

2 heads hips to knees.

2 heads knees to feet.

Look at the angles.

Heidi was the live model all day for the 10-15 year old  students ….Stand up sit down… Lala was astonishing…She just kept them going with loads of interesting stuff. It started off as an anatomy lesson…..…. at the end of the 3 hour session, students not only  had about 12 drawings of Heidi  standing, sitting,and supine, but in the review of work done everyone saw how they’d progressed……Heidi on the otherhand felt rather drawn !!!
