Fabric and figure drawing















 We started the morning with linear drawing and experimentation with pencil. We were encouraged to create free movement on the page using loose flowing strokes of the pencil. Activities including covering a whole page in charcoal and using a rubber to etch in swirls and lines as an alternative method of experimenting with line. We additionally looked at figure drawing in simple curves and strokes. This research then moved on to using colour oil pastels and paint in the same examples of curves and lines and encouraged  being free and expressive with colour.
We also looked at fabric drawing and dress a mannequin in a selection of alternate materials. Using oil pastels, pencils, ink, charcoal and a rubber we experimented with how to create textures that depict the surface appearance of different fabrics. The afternoon session encompassed the ideals practised in the morning and gave inspiration to us creating a final fashion figure drawing.
