Lavender Hill Day 1

A few brief notes of things I learned yesterday

When boxing in the form always start with the top and bottom, then draw the left and right lines to get the proportions correct.

Sculpt when dividing the form

Don't go through the figure when sculpting the shape

Hold charcoal on its side and stand back further - clean smooth motions

Use an economy of straight lines when dividing the space. No curves for now

Movement and motion comes from lines off the horizontal and vertical

Another 2 hour sketch from Francis Oneil's. This girl is a squatter who mentioned that she was chased from a squat she just entered by a gang of drug dealers on the previous day.
