AND141 Sketching and Drawing for Animation 2nd Semester      Week 9      In the ninth class of the second semester Sketching and Drawing for Animation course AND141,  we returned to drawing the body with a live model.     Notes      First, each student drew the model in one position from different angles for 30 minutes. Then, the model moved continuously until a student told her to stop. All students draw her position quickly, and are then supposed to say "done" as they finish. As soon as 3 students have said "done," the model can move once more until a student tells her to stop again.
