first week

I took life drawing to get in my studio art credits.  I have always liked drawing classes so I was looking forward to taking this class know that the human body would be a challenge.  I wish we would have time to make a beautiful finished drawing in class.   However, I understand that we have a lot to account for such as certain muscles and bones and many contour lines to show three dimension.  It would also be hard to finish a drawing since our class only meets for two hours at a time.  One thing that really intimidates me is making the muscle model.  I can’t remember the last time I worked with clay so this part of the class should be interesting.  During our second class period we did multiple gestures of a live model.  It was hard for me to draw the entire body during these short thirty second gestures.  However, because we started with a short amount of time once we started doing two-minute gestures the time seemed so much longer and I was able to concentrate better and get more down on paper.  So far I have learned that the human body is definitely hard to draw.
