Lunch Life Drawing

I'm back at it again. We had a chance to do some life drawing during lunch today so I busted out the old newsprint pad! This time I made some notes of the more frustratingly glaring issues with my drawings. Things I see right away, that I don't understand why I don't see them as I'm actually drawing them. *pulls hair* Not to shy away from the greater problems evident herein. Five minute poses, except for Monster Leg Man.



Somehow I completely failed at taking pictures too. I had a bright light shining on the paper and used a flash but it looks like I took it in a dark alleyway. The last life drawing images came out fine... I don't get it.



To he honest, his head was rather large, but to be fair, it wasn't nearly that large. And I get so caught up in these sweeping lines that I drew his friggin' leg like double the size of the rest of him. I shudder at the thought of him unfolding that leg...



Speaks for itself.



How is that even acceptable?



And the stupid part is I thought I should accentuate the naivete by going over it in charcoal. Somehow his ankle narrows into a ramen noodle?

So that's it! I'll keep this stuff in mind for next time.
