During this session, I had the opportunity to experiment with colored paper and pastels. We were instructed to choose four colors, but I added an extra one during this real-life drawing lesson. I began to understand that I don't have to stick to a specific order when drawing, and I certainly don't have to use the exact same skin colors in my drawings. Thinking outside the box is encouraged.

I reflected on my first experience with charcoal. It was a great expression when I rubbed off the person and started a new sketch, resembling motions in the frame or classic animation. I observed one of my classmates focusing on sketching hands, inspiring me to do the same. I wanted to develop the details of fingers and hands, keeping pace as the models shifted positions, requiring me to wipe and sketch anew.I noticed my sketching evolving to be more spontaneous, realizing that I don't have to focus solely on completing each piece. Both my classmates and tutors showed great ambition with colours and scales. The imaginative perspectives in my classmates' eyes and scales were vast. Creating two models out of one model struck me as more minimalist and simple. I recognize the need to simplify what I see and to follow my tutor's guidance on measuring and scales structures more consistently. While placing two models on my frame might seem challenging, it's akin to the Photoshop technique of duplicating and rotating characters, and I find it intriguing.
