In this drawing above you can
clearly see emotion. The emotion that is shown in the drawing is sadness or
depression. You can see this by the positioning of the model and the way the
model is slumped over with one arm leaning on the knee. A main part of the
drawing which suggests the emotion is the placement of the head. In
this instance the head is facing downwards. I was not including any facial features
so the emotion had to be very clear when drawing the model through the way she was sat.
The posture
of the model is shown very clearly. You can tell that the model's back is
curved as she is leaning over. This is the main foundation of the other
movements of the body. In this drawing I have left in the rough outlines to show
the process and mistakes made. The model was sat down; I feel it was easier to
show this kind of emotion rather than if she was stood up. Trying to create
balance and weight was easier in some places than in others. There are much stronger
lines where the arm and leg meet; this was to show that the model was leaning
over.
Overall this was a good drawing to
do because I had to really look at the placement of the model and portray the expression and feeling through
how she was sat. I made a few mistakes regarding placement of the head and arm
but I amended these mistakes to create a powerful drawing.
