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...
I've added a new Sketchbook pdf to my Gumroad page. It's got 54 pages of life drawing, gestures, and animal sketches in a large square format - higher quality than on this blog! For £1 you can own your own copy. Buy it here.
