1-minute studies, Nicole Kirkpatrick

For the 1-minute studies, we each were given a prop. We had to think of "pose" to put ourself into that would incorporate the prop. We each had to pose for the class for one minute as they drew. These were to be very quick sketches of poses.

1 Minute Drawings

For these quick figure studies we partnered up and each got a prop. We had fun exploring the possibilities of our props and selected a posture that we could hold for 1-minute as our peers drew. We also gave the poses fun titles. It was a very interactive way to make figure drawing fun! I normally HATE drawing the figure but with this exercise I was able to focus on the prop and the most important aspects of how the person was interacting with it. Limiting my focus allowed me to relax and get some likable drawings. From left to right the titles of these poses are "Provided For," "Wrap it up," "Substitute," and "Stepping on the Peak."
