Today’s class started of with our teacher checking on our previous assignment. We were supposed to draw ten sketches of Mumbai streets. I was able to do only five of them. She gave us her inputs as to what we should improve according to her in the sketches we had drawn.
We had to form a group of four in today’s class, each one becoming a model at a time. We were supposed to sketch the models in less than ten minutes. We faced a lot of problem in getting the right body posture and facial expressions. Personally, I feel that I need to work a lot on human anatomy. In the second half of the class, our teacher introduced us to the method of scribbling or doodling and getting the texture. We again did the same models using the scribbling method. To bring out a better nuance and texture, she introduced us to many famous artists like: Desmond Doig, Maris Miranda, Prasant Miranda, Samir Biswas and Allen Shaw. She asked us to research on these artist and their different method of textures.
We were then supposed to doodle down the scenery outside our classroom window. I used almost the same textures to bring it out so my teacher had asked me to use different textures by referring to these famous artists. Our home assignment is to finish the previous left out sketches and also, do all of those ten sketches by using textures, scribbling or doodling method.
I learned a lot in today’s class. Especially, it was fun to do the scribbling and doodling part. Though I struggled a lot to bring out the model sketches, I had managed to portray the body posture. I realized that I need to work on human anatomy and the textures after today’s class.
