Human Sketch

This project was a group project and in my group, we had 5 people. I like group projects because it improves the relationship I have with my class members, also make new friends and also improve communicating skills. For this group project, we had to draw 1:1 scale of the model doing three different poses on butter paper. Since I was the smallest in my group, I volunteered to be the model for the group because it would be easier to draw 1:1 scale, fit three poses onto 5 butter paper, and do the measurements accurately.

There were many steps on making the human sketch on the butter paper. This project has really taught me how to work very well in a group; also taught me how communicating and planning is very important in group projects. However, I was not the leader of the group but I really wished I could be the leader for my next group project because I think that would really improve my skill of being a leader.

 

The first step after outlining the butter paper with red lines, I had to model different poses for my other teammates to take a picture and measure me. I stepped up and decided that I would be the model to be drawn, instead of hiding at the back of my group and not step up. I also helped decide what poses I should do so that the poses go from 'the wait' to 'the watch'.

 

 

We then started drawing onto the butter paper. I helped draw the poses onto the butter paper because I knew I could draw the poses well since I was the model and I know more of what I was posing. Also, I wanted to show my drawing skills to the group and show that I understand about proportion. However, we did struggle at some parts on drawing the model sketch, therefore I decided to lean against on the paper and so that my other teammates can roughly mark where my legs, knees, etc, are at.

 

The photo on the left shows the final piece of work after we drew all three poses onto the butter paper. Overall, I enjoyed doing this assignment because I like doing group work as it improves my relationship with my class members. Also, it helped me improve my communicating skills and also a bit of my leadership skills because I did also help lead my group and give my ideas.
