Epic drawing day: Part two

Us stop motion lot were very happy in life drawing yesterday as we finally got to do some sculpting!  We were all given just plasticine to use to sculpt the figure instead of drawing. Whilst I have used plasticine a lot before I never have in a life drawing class and it was really interesting to work quickly, i'm used to spending hours over one model.
These below were all short exercises ranging from 5 to 15 minutes: 

The final one was 25 minutes (which is now sitting proudly on my windowsill, probably creeping out my neighbours!)

It was back to drawing for the afternoon session where we looked at using the boundary box technique, I didn't really get it at first, I thought you literally drew the figure in actual shapes, but once I saw the point of it, it actually is a useful way to map out your drawing to get the angle and proportions right.

                         

The rest of the session was a free for all and I got to try out my jumbo tin of watercolor pencils I bought at the weekend, pretty pleased with how it turned out. I really want to start using watercolours more.
