Life Drawing, 8th November

It's been a long, long time since I last drew at an in-person life drawing class. Last month I went along to Looking Sketchy Life Drawing in Galashiels, with Lexi modelling. Though out of practice it was a lot of fun spending more time on poses and allowing myself to...

All In Gesture – Medusa

All In Gesture – Medusa

Monster from mythology, or victim? It was fun to explore different sides of Medusa and wonder about what stories she might come from.

All In Gesture – Taylor Swift

All In Gesture – Taylor Swift

I tried something new with this session: I recorded my screen as I drew! Watch the video below for a look at all the drawings I normally never let anyone see ...It was a good exercise as I can spot when I'm struggling with a pose, and start to noodle. In those cases...

All In Gesture – King Triton

All In Gesture – King Triton

All In Gesture – Jacob Marley

All In Gesture – Jacob Marley

With all there is to do pre-Christmas I've fallen a bit behind with All In Gesture. The class inspired by Jacob Marley was a fun way to catch up! Now I'm off to watch The Muppet Christmas Carol ...
