I chose this 30-second image mainly because it was one of the first 30-second sketches I did in this class. I noticed that in the beginning of the semester I sketched the model not by identifying the spinal cord or the rib cage but by focusing on the outside area of the body leaving an outlined look. I do not believe that I did many things accurately in this sketch, however when I glanced at it I fully understood the pose that she was in without having to study it. In this sketch I clearly have not yet learned to begin with the line of axis, rib cage or pelvis and going from there.
In this 1-minute sketch you can see that we have begun to learn to sketch the bones, rib cage, pelvis and spinal cord. I chose this image because I felt I successfully proportioned the model. The rib cage is at an angle and not straight up and down. The pelvis is at an angel with the stance giving the appearance of the weight being shifted to the right leg. The femur and tibia have slight curves to them also, showing a better idea of direction with the legs. When I look at this image I can instantly visualize the pose the model was standing in.
This 1+ Minute sketch I feel is accurately showing what we have so far learned in the class. The line of axis is evident, rib cage, and slight foreshortening. When I see this sketch I realize that I have truly learned much more than I would have ever thought and we are only mid semester. I have seen that I have moved from outline and uncertainty to understanding the steps to think through and see in sketching the human body. This sketch definitely portrays the foreshortening we had learned thus far. With the lower portion of the body closer to me, the upper portion of the body appears to be further away. Especially seeing that the pelvic region is wider than the shoulders. When I look at this now I believe that I should have adjusted the angle of the feet and made them appear larger since they are suppose to appear closer. It also would have helped to lighten the lines that are further away and darken the lines that are closer.

These later gesture drawings are much better, especially in how you stay focused on long axis lines and away from flat outlines.
In the last few weeks, with your gesture drawings, think about adding some of the curves the bones/muscles make in the thigh, leg, arms, and forearms.
