Today's life drawing lesson started out with some quick poses where we tried different methods of linework. The first and last poses had us drawing however we wanted, whereas the second pose (which I drew twice) had us considering exactly how many marks we were making on the page; we had to limit the amount of strokes we used to suggest the figure. The third pose was a continuous line drawing, and the fourth was a variation of this; we were limited to using vertical and horizontal lines only (or as close as we could get), in essence recreating an 'etch-a-sketch' style thereabouts.
The next poses were 30 minutes long and had us looking at how the light affected the model. The first pose was done with the light on, and the next was done with the light on for the first half (so we could look at the basic form of the model) and off for the second.
The last pose was a relatively short one. I used the time to try and work bigger and more loosely as that's something I need to work on.
