Final Overview





























For one last glimpse into the past few months of drawing I have selected the pieces you see here.
I felt that the strengths that I posses where preserved. Those being the gestural quality of the work, capturing the natural fluid motion of the body, and a fair sense of perspective with the confidence of the marks being made. The weaknesses of the previous pieces show improvement on the aspects I discussed ie (patience, and confidence with the media, as well as spending more time with the pieces) and the new work reflects that care and effort on the areas I focused on. What I wanted to learn and needed to learn coincided beautifully. I wanted keen anatomical knowledge of the body and the lectures finished the body of information needed in order to render the form with more precision. Also they showed commonplace misconception of some of the features that the form presents as well as being able to make enlightened decisions after the initial strokes made to map out the page. This class was everything I had hoped for, and I can't wait to put the information presented with the practice into effect in my own work.
