According to my life drawing teacher, the most difficult parts of the body to draw are the hands and feet. I think I have to agree. The assignment was to draw 12 hands and 12 feet in a week. Either the teacher or myself must not have known what he was assigning… because after spending twice the suggested homework time, I only had 7 of each. They are each very lovingly drawn, though.
Actually, the loving part usually only comes in the last 15 minutes of the drawing. That’s when I’m shading. The first 15 consist of me almost wanting to cry because I can’t get the proportions quite right.
I rigged a couple of mirrors and lamps to get the different angles of my feet and hands. Also, I now know how the model feels and why she HAS to flex every so often!
I liked how each set (page in my sketchbook) turned into a kind of composition, even though I didn’t set out to do that.
And it was cool how each set got progressively better!
Random and inconsequential fact: Listening to a dramatization of Little Women kept me sane during this assignment.
Here’s the best compliment I can give you – I recognize your foot!! Beautiful work…
Trop douée, vraiment, je suis impressionnée…ton blog est trop intéressant, et les concepts aussi d’ailleurs! Chapeau!
Very well done, my friend!
