10. Facial Anatomy: Portraiture

This drawing shows good planning of the model, it is done using just white chalk on a dark blue/navy paper, this works really well to show off the highlights and uses the paper to show off the shadows. There is a good sense of depth in the drawing as you can see clearly see where the angles start and where the shape ends through shading, this works really well to give the drawing realism and appeals to the viewer.
The highlights on the face show that the model has a very sad expression on her face which is emphasised by the eyes that are drooping down, but also the forehead and how the skin wrinkles. The anatomical features of the drawing are correct and were clearly planned on the page before detail was added, this captures the likeliness of the model.

9. Tone And Colour In Skin

This tonal drawing of a model has very good proportions of the body. This drawing has taken aboard improvements suggested in that the model is now sitting on a table where before it wasn’t drawn in this really helps frame the drawing and more appealing to the viewer.
The shading in this drawing of various different crayon colours has been blended well together to give a good sense of depth, as clearly seen on the side and hips where the flesh curves and drops down due to fatty deposits.
The highlights and shadows show that there was more than 1 light source, from the front and the back. The shading that follows the contours of the neck really makes it look natural and realistic it also gives the neck the depth due to the muscles. The shadows created at the back of the arm and the hips are really good and show good proportions and sense of depth.

8. Gravity And Drapery

This drawing of a model in clothing has very good proportions this has helped make the clothing more realistic and accurate. The shading of the contours helps give you a good sense of where the clothing was loose and hanging and where it was tight and resting on top of flesh.
There is a good sense of gravity and momentum in this drawing in that the clothing of the model is hanging down but not moving as the model is sat down in a relaxed position. There is also a good sense of depth as you can tell which areas are in front of others such as arms being tucked in between the legs.
An improvement for this drawing would be to include the seat that the model is resting on rather than making it look like she is sitting on this air, this would really help bring the drawing together and add depth.

7. Musculature And Skeletal Anatomy

This drawing of a male model has a good sense of proportion overall, there are places where the proportions of the body are wrong and this has caused unrealistic limbs, this could be improved upon by measuring more before fully drawing in detail. The angles of the drawing really give a good sense of the weight of the model as well as his posture and pose, the foreshortening on the stomach show that the model is leaning/bending forward.
The detail of shading really helps emphasise the pose of the model, you can really tell that this is a relaxed pose and the model isn’t using a lot of muscles other than those in his arms to rest his head on his hand. The shading follows the contours of the shape this gives a good sense of depth on the drawing, this also helps to see which parts of the body are in front of others.
The major improvements that need to be made to this drawing are the head/face which seems to be out of perspective compared to the rest of the drawing, this could be because of a difficult angle at which the model was facing. Another improvement would be on the left leg which seems to be broken this was most likely caused because other proportions of the body were altered but this caused the leg to be incorrect and the wrong shape. Also an improvement of this drawing would be to have a backdrop as this would really help to frame the drawing and hide incorrect lines.
