To practice drawing the figure, it's helpful to have a good model, in this case, one that doesn't move.
Look around to find a photo of a figure in action. This might be from Sports Illustrated, or a fashion magazine, or even from a digital photo you took.
Print this image out, it should be no larger than 4x6" or so. Cut this figure out, and then glue this image onto one page neatly. Then, using a drawing media of your choice (graphite, colored pencil, etc.) Draw this figure again, but larger, so that it fills the entire page. For an added challenge, choose a figure that shows foreshortening (showing an extreme angle that hides parts of the body, or makes them appear much larger, like the example above). Your drawing must be at least twice the size of the original, no tracing, carefully observe your example!
Grading Criteria:
Objective: Choosing an image that shows the entire figure, cut out, neatly glued in.
Scaled Up: Your drawing should be at least twice as big as the original.
Proportion: Focus on the size relationships between parts of the figure.
Design: Your drawing should go off or touch two sides of the page.
Studio Skills: Should show line quality, shading, use of value to show form and texture.
Craftsmanship; Should demonstrate at least an hour of focused study.
This assignment is due: Wednesday, April 21st.
