The first week of classes went surprisingly well. I was excited that we got to start drawing an actual model right away. At first I thought it was going to be a little awkward, but it wasn't! Our first model we had did a really good job switching poses and making sure everyone got to draw from all angles. It took me a little while to get warmed up and used to drawing again, since I haven't taken a drawing class for a couple of semesters. Drawing in gesture form for the first half hour of class really helped me get things in proportion and see the figure as a whole. I am still having a hard time drawing with loose lines and trying to show the whole form only drawing the lines that are closest or most dominant in the figure.
After doing the in class contour drawing, I realized that I had done my wrong. I drew lines going in both directions to show the curves of the body form from both directions. I also, did it with fast lines and filling in most of the form with the checkered board-like lines. However, after looking around the room and seeing how other students created their contour drawing along with the discussion about how everyone drew theirs, I now have a better idea of how to draw using contour lines.
