I have found throughout this semester my drawing styles varying quite a bit, from loose and sketchy to quite neat and precise. A lot of the artwork I do outside of university involves me being quite precise - I use a scalpel to make cut out paper illustrations (see www.zoegenders.com ) so I quite enjoy getting to work a bit more freely, but it's interesting to see them together and compare.
These are images of the same model, one obviously was a much quicker picture than the other, but both were on the same day with the same bright light shining at the model. I think my preference is for the picture at the top as it has more movement in it, more 'life'. The picture below I was fairly happy with until I came to do his face, I struggled with the angle his head was at and just couldn't get it to look right. He does have quite large features so I think that may have added to the difficulty of getting the proportion correct. The light shadows on his chest were also quite interesting, one creating a spiral over the right side of his chest, at first whilst drawing this I felt it looked a bit odd, but it was there in front of me so there it is in the picture.
