Back to Basics

So yesterday before that mantis fiasco, I had my first life drawing session up here. I kind of liked this one better. The instructor gave some pretty good instructions. He had us start by drawing the body as just boxes in 2 min gestures. I kind of got the hang of that, but I sent a step back further today and played with stick figures. On some of them I drew the boxes over the basic ovals, and even drew in the body on a couple. For the rest of them I was just trying to convey the poses in as simple a stick form as I could. I think it was pretty successful for a first off.

I was kind of hungry for sushi at the time so I decided to draw it since I couldn't go get some to eat. My goal here was to both improve my line and to try and get a sense of texture and perspective with the rendering. Some is more successful than others. Not bad for my first sketches in a couple weeks. From here I was trying to start to draw some more faces and heads since I never really do that anymore. It was too much of a challenge for me during life drawing to get the heads and faces up to the same level of the body. So here I tried to only draw heads. And not even realistically...I was going for more caricaturish or cartoonish drawings here. Some are decent, some are horrible b...
