During the semester so far, I have liked the flow of the class. By starting with only the spine, and adding bones and muscles gradually to gesture sketches, it really helped my to build on what I was learning. And through warming up with gestural sketches, I formed a more general idea of what the overall shape of the body should be, and then work on a longer pose. I enjoy the long poses the most, with adding the contour lines, which make me look closer at the form of the body. By being forced to draw the dimensions of the body in lines, I have to really look closely at the curves of the bones and muscles in the body.
My strengths I believe are attention to detail, careful observation, and controlled line quality. What I have the hardest time with is getting the right overall shape, size, and placement right of what I am drawing on the page.
I would like to improve my knowledge of the underlying structure of human anatomy to better understand how to draw the body. I would also like to continue getting better at making my long pose drawings more accurately proportionately and otherwise. Continuing to be patient with my drawings will also help me to look closer at my subject matter and see more details.
