When beginning life drawing I was very distracted and found it hard to concentrate. At first we did 15minute sessions of drawing the whole figure on newsprint using pencil. We used pencil because we were not allowed to rub it out, so it would show up our mistakes. After this we were allowed to use charcoal, this made harder lines and made our images more messy and free. We then did a 20minute session and were told to take more care with our strokes. These drawing were 1 image per A1 page. After this we did 3 10minute session and did all 3 images on one piece of brown paper, during this we overlapped elements of our images. Our last session consisted of 3, 3-5 minute poses. I found these much easier to do as I used simple lines and shapes, i also managed to get the right proportions.
