  | This drawing was elaborated from a haptic 5 critical line exercise. I further developed the image, trying to mimic the stance of the model from only 5 simple lines i had drawn when the model was in the pose. In conjunction with manufacturing the endotopic tones of the figure to create realism, I have kept the simplification of the five essential lines visible, to depict the natural elegance of the initial stance. It has achieved a subtle superimposition of analogue on the subject, demonstrating the initial experience of feeling out the form in the live drawing class. Following the weighting principle, the phrasing of the line is thickened towards the bottom and shadowed areas of the figure, to depict where the weight is within the composition. I have avoided using any harsh rendering styles, instead I have treated the surface of the figure with smooth transitions from light to shade, employing a consistency of mimetic marks to depict the textual elements of skin.  Ruben's Flap, by Jenny Saville Jenny Saville was an inspiration for this particular work, and for a lot of my elaborations of live drawing sketches. Her intimidating large-scale paintings of voluptuous naked women command presence, oozing elegance and femininity. In the section of the females knee and also her breast, a warm red hue has been introduced, the image as a whole was quite dark already, so an intense colour was needed to allow these parts of the image to advance and impose on the viewer. |
