First day of model drawing

What can I say about my first experience?

...Well, i definitely didn't think i would ever be this nervous to draw.  Thankfully, the uneasy feeling dissolved towards the end of class.  

Throughout the day we did 30 sec, 1 min, 3 min, and half hour drawings.  My favorite time restraint was the 1 min.  My lines where fun and fast, yet a little bit more descriptive then the 30 sec drawings. This is one of my 1 min drawings.  the proportion may be off but i still got a feel for how her skeleton was working under her skin and how it effected the surface.




Here is the half hour drawing.   A bit more accurate i'd say.  It will be nice when i know exactly what kind of bones are underneath to help me draw the figure more precisely.












I've been having difficulties with the cross contour drawings.  The problem is that i dont have any references of my page.  So, if my first line may look accurate but i dont really have proof.  The first line is crucial.  If i dont get it right, all my other contour lines will be off.  Sometimes i feel like switching up my liine direction when drawing contour lines.  Instead of moving from the left to the right sometimes my lines can be more descriptive if i change the direction. this is the models hip and thigh.

That is all for now.  see you folks in class
