Life drawing - Lesson 4


For the first exercise we were given 1 minute to draw each of the poses. I created these drawings using a graphite stick.


For the second exercise we were given 5 minutes to draw. Here I used a graphite stick. I like this drawing because I think that the body is drawn to the correct proportions. 


With the third drawing we were given 10 minutes to complete it. Here I used a biro. I like this drawing because it looks realistic and I like the style.


In the fourth, fifth and sixth drawing we were given 20 minutes to complete each of them. I continued to use biro in all of the drawings because I liked the effect that I was creating. I believe that in some of the drawings my proportions are incorrect but I still like how realistic the model's face and the textures on the materials look.

    Nice drawings! I like the one where Dan's sitting (3rd sheet down) and the last one where he's holding the brush :) Keep experimenting with biro and ink- as you can get some nice effects using them! Maybe also consider using indian inks/markers, to block out the surrounding environment and help ground your drawings?

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004) - Non-linear storytelling

Figure 1. Movie poster (2004) Non-linear methods: Chronicle (Linear storytelling)  - The film starts off  with a non-linear storytelling method. This is as the audience are unaware as to where they are, who the characters are and what they are doing. The scenes also change suddenly and time shifts backwards and forwards. The story then becomes linear once Joel starts to get his memories of Clementine removed. This is as he is in a dream state trying to stop his memories of her from leaving him.  Figure 2. Joel and Clementine meeting Retrograde (Events in reverse order)  - This is shown throughout the movie without the audience realising until they are nearing the end of the film. At the start of the film the audience understand that Joel and Clementine have only just met and that Joel and Clementine's feelings towards each other grow, but towards the end of the film it is made clear that not only did Clementine and Joel know each other previously, they were also

Film review: A Knight's Tale (2001) - A Hero's journey

During today's lecture we looked into depth on Joseph Campbell's monomyth theory on the 17 stages of 'A Hero's Journey' and how the stages are very evident in films such as Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and The Matrix (1999). The theory has 3 acts which come together to form the 17 different stages in A Hero's Journey.  Below is a diagram to explain Campbell's theory: Figure 1. Joseph Campell - 17 Stage Monomyth - A Hero's Journey (1949) The film that I am using to help prove this theory is A Knight's Tale (2001). Figure 2. Original Movie Poster (2001) Stage 1 - The call to adventure: The Knight that William (Heath Ledger), the knight's servant, works for, dies, meaning that William, along with all of the Knight's over servants, are left without a job. As the servants worry what to do next and panic as they haven't eaten in three days, one of the King's servants come over on a horse and explains that the Knig
