Prince's Drawing School

On the 27th of February, myself and 4 other students from our Dimploma class were chosen to attend the Prince's Drawing School- a weekly programme that will help us to improve our drawing skills and use of different techniques. I was very excited about this as I feel that I need to work on my drawings and my use of proportion.

Once we arrived (45 minutes late due to the fact that we got lost) we were shown up to the 4th floor and introduced to Henry, who would be our teacher. We then sat in a circle with the other 5 students who were also there. Unlike us though, they were A level students who were there mainly to update their portfolio's. After we introduced ourselves and discussed why we were here, we set up oour easels and got to work. We had to draw a model who posed for us in the middle of the room. After attempting this task, I found that sometimes when drawing it is easier to just let go rather than trying to pay great attention to detail, that way the drawing is more likely to come out better. I also learnt that I need to work on my proportion a lot more if I want my pictures to get better. I hope to gain that skill out of this experience.
