We drew a new model for today's session - Lydia. She was beautiful to draw and we also got to try using some collage in our work.

Life drawing - 19/11/14

  

We started with a few quick drawings today working several poses on the same page, then moved on to more detailed studies. Thoroughly enjoyable as always!

10 minute poses with a graphic pencil

 5 min poses with graphite pencil                                     1 minute poses with charcoal

 Detailed studies

I can't draw feet and hands, so I decided to concentrate on feet and hands!

 

I love life drawing!!!



 

Although I'm not overly happy with some of the work I produced today, I still really love life drawing classes and these are the first nude sketches I've done for a long, long time. The first pencil sketch was a 20 min pose and I used a graphite pencil. The next three were 10 min poses drawn with charcoal.

 

 

 I loved doing these last two pages so much. The top ones were 3 minute poses and the bottom ones were 1 minute poses, all drawn in pencil with one continuous line. I felt that compared to the regular way I sketch, these were so much freer and seemed to have much more movement to them, particularly the 1 minute ones. I'm looking forward to doing some more quick sketches like this in the future.
