A Big Drawing Update.

As the title says, I've uploaded quite a few drawings, I have even managed to take photos of the A1 sheets too. I haven't uploaded everything I've done, some sheets are unfinished and others I just don't see the point, like how many blind contour drawings do you need to see?

Life Drawing
We've been doing a good mix of techniques in life drawing, many of which I've enjoyed. I always feel like just as I get to grips with a technique we move onto another, which is a shame as I'd like to see how far I could push some of them. After looking over these images it is also clear I have some problems with proportion, like certain heads being too big or small, or a thigh looking too chunky.












Visual Design
We had to take a trip to a Victorian pumping station on the edge of Leicester for one of the weeks, to get there I decided to walk a long the canal for about an hour which was... pleasant. The actual station was fantastic though. The final I produced for the station I will be redoing over Christmas, I made mistakes throughout and I think the final piece is very disjointed. I think certain areas work well but none of them work well with each other, which is a big problem!

The final project before Christmas was going the National Space Centre, located just next to the pumping station. Inside there were various space equipment like satellites and other machinery, there's even an old US rocket in the building which was a surprise. The actual building was an odd giant bubble, looking like something out of a 70's sci-fi show. It was also semi-opaque, making it very challenging to draw, which is why I picked it for my final.
