Week 11 - Musculature (With final finished figure drawing 3/3)

 

This is a drawing I did in 15 minutes of a live model. I focussed in on the back so I could draw it bigger therefore adding more detail. The position of the model meant that certain muscles became prominent under the specific lighting conditions, which were easy to mark down because certain areas were contrasting a lot. I did however decide to exaggerate the dark highlights a little to create more contrast and variation, simply because I like this kind of style.

 Another 15 minute sketch of the same model but in a different pose. This pose with the raised leg definately brought out the muscles in his left leg, as well as the  fibula bone that slightly protrudes when stretching the leg.
The spotlight helped to bring out the highlights and again certain parts were exaggerated to show them off more.

Here is a final figure piece of the model. He is shown here sat down in a natural position. I primarilly focussed on the shape of the body and showing off the muscle lines that were created due to the lighting (such as between the bicep and forearm). Some parts are a bit thin however such as the legs which wern't that thin however the main shape is quite accurate.
