This week in Life Drawing 1 we focused primarily on drawing the shoulder. I've been looking forward to learning how to draw the shoulder for most of the semester. After learning a little more about how the shoulder girdle is constructed I was certainly able to draw it with more confidence. One thing that I certainly struggle with, and, at this point, may not get in this semester, is simply where to place cross-contour lines. I'm able to place them to bring some sense of volume to the form, but I feel like I'm doing a wire frame inside an outline instead of actually using the cross-contour lines to define the form. I think it would be a lot easier is we could draw a model that looked like this guy.
I agree! It would be so much easier if the muscle structure and contour lines were tattooed onto the models! Perhaps after practice, we can visualize that in our heads.
