People & motion

To start off here are some of the examples I have done to show motion of people more than the emotions of people e.g. expressions. For this exercise we were tasked to do various sketches, using fluid line in two hours. Overall, I think for this particular task I think I haven't done so well on achieving these techniques on this time round, as I think the sketches should be more loose and try not to focus so much on the detail aspect of things. The problems that I had with these drawings however was the fact that the people I drew tended not to stay still for long enough periods of time, so this made the task difficult as I could only draw certain parts of these people. For all of these drawings, I used an ink pen so I could make more scratch marks because of the time limit and the amount of detail we could only put on it. The reason why I have drawn most of the people from the back, was because every time I tried to draw these people from the front, but they would almost immediately turn in the opposite direction, and were in a different pose. I didn't want to have to keep moving every time they turned their body. I don't know if it was just my luck?, or on purpose.

Although we Had limited time to do this exercise, there was only so much detail I could add, but I would say in my opinion, I think I would need improvement in getting my humans more anatomically correct, as some of the drawings particularly in the waist and leg sections of them, didn't have the correct curvature or were too plump. However, the positives about doing this exercise were that I was able to use materials to create these pieces that I wouldn't normally use every day (ink pen). Another positive about  doing these drawings, was the fact that for certain parts of the body, such as the head, arms and back I noticed a slight improvement in skills, as they were anatomically correct. How can I improve on this session?, well In the future I should practice doing legs and waist and try to speed up on my drawing skills.
