I never had the chance to do figure drawing before, so the very first figure drawing was my first time drawing a live model. At first, I was very anxious because I had no experience and because I thought I didn’t have the skills when everyone did. But as I worked through it, I got better at it and learned a lot. I learned how to work with light, which I didn’t do before also, forming shadows and drawing without borders. The biggest challenge for me was working with details, so the details of the face, the hands, and the feet. When I had to chance to work with details and from far away, I chose to work with detail because I wanted to improve on it. As I drew more of detail, I got better at it. I also didn’t know how to see the lights on an object/model and draw it, and I think I learned a lot from this class about how to find the light source and do shadowing.
