Week 1

This is my first post! Hoorah. My name is Theresa Ptak, I'm a junior studying Graphic Design. I'm taking quite a few classes this semester, a full load of 17 credits. Life Drawing I is one of them, so this is where I'll be posting my weekly progress in the class on things I've learned. I've taken several drawing classes previous to this class and have had some technical digital imaging courses, so it will be nice to loosen up and and study the human figure. Here are a few images of what I've been working on the past couple semesters:




The first is done with soft pastel and the second with conte crayon. Hopefully this experience will come in to play a bit with this Life drawing class. I look forward to learning how to draw quickly and communication shape and form with minimal line and time. I look forward to another week of studying the human figure with gesture drawing and clay models.
