Life drawings in Waterloo Station:
Within the first 30 minute session drawing, I was focused on capturing the expressions and facial features of the person. I found out that just blocking out shapes and shading really helps with that. During the drawing, I was sitting a floor up, and looking down – thus only being able to see small details. It was quite helpful in helping me get the main shapes down.
When we moved onto more drawings that have potential for a “narrative”, I went into Southbank near the station, sat at a near-by cafe/office thing, and started drawing people who were dancing. It was quite a fun experience, since I got to draw natural poses and also some rapid ones too.
Figuring out the 3 panel sequence I’ll use:
I decided to go for the mother and child storyline since I came up with quite a cute storyline for them. (where we watch them grow older in just seconds). I was inspired by “UP” within their montage sequence of them growing old together – but just a condensed version of it.
Personally, I feel like I went overboard with the colours, and thus made it murky and distracting. It also makes the whole atmosphere feel more sinister rather than wholesome.
