Poise

This was another part of my figure drawing class. I was working on depicting expressionism through the use of sporadic and abnormal colors. This was an interesting experiment...I used cool colors to represent shadows and warm colors to represent highlights and normal body colors.

Relationship Between Bone - Skin - Muscle

This was a part of my figure drawing class. We started by learning the proportions of the bones and how they were positioned. This helped grasp the idea of proportions and their size relation to each other. We then added muscles to the bone, this was to understand the odd shapes and how the shape of an arm, for example, would change shape if it moved forward opposed to backwards. The last final step was to add skin.

I tried to draw them in the same position next to each adding one component at a time so 

I could fully understand the relationship of bone to skin to muscles.

Expression

This figure drawing was focusing on the style of impressionism. I wanted to capture the movement in the dancer's posture as well as hair to add to the emotion incorporated by the colors.

Cubism

Another one of the figure drawing studies. This one in particular focused on the style of cubism. For reference/inspiration i looked several of Pablo Picasso's figures. I found it interesting how he took the incredibly organic and soft lines of a woman's body and broke them down into hard edges and shapes to see how the public would react.

Fauve Figure Drawing

This is my first attempt at Fauve figure drawing. I was working on proportion, color, balance and an expressive posture.
