I developed my art making skills with the use of charcoal. In addition to improving my skills with charcoal it's bettered my knowledge of how the human body curves to form itself. This also allowed me to become a little less rigid with my artwork. Until this class I almost exclusively drew in a style that kept me hunched, constantly drawing and redrawing in order to get a perfectly detailed image. Being forced to use a medium that isn't accepting of this tactic has allowed me to expand my horizons in general, across all mediums.
We collaborated with decision making as well as modeling. Poses were chosen after a short conversation based on what would be the best mix of interesting to draw, interesting to observe, and easiest to model. We also advised each other on small choices such as perspective and what to spend more and less time on. I reflect on my use of time. I feel as if I did an acceptable job on the face and neck considering my lack of experience in the medium and did well on the jacket. However spacing severely damaged the piece. The legs are both rushed and squat, compared to the model's actual proportions. In addition the shoes are little more than filling a requirement. As time wore on and my model wore impatient I quickly added them to give the effect of a full body, rather than extend the legs and cut it off at the ankles.
