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 drew these last week, I think ... and forgot to post them. Some fun sketches of a 50s Diner waitress!
Kelly held some beautiful dance poses in this All In Gesture class from a couple of months ago.
This was a challenging session. It forced me to think about the overall shape of the pose and work within that shape, rather than rely on dynamic and energetic movements which clearly show where arms and legs are.
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.
Digging through my drawings from last year, I uncovered some from a year ago that I never posted. So here they are!
I made it along to some of the epic eight-hour life drawing marathon organised by Deryck Henley on New Year's Eve. It was great to do some drawing from (digital) life - it had been a few months, and I was very rusty. These poses were modelled by Anna and Mariano.
Last week, I attended a life drawing session where Safire and Andrew held beautiful poses. With three cameras to choose from, I enjoyed capturing the same pose from different angles.
A couple of sketches of Naomi, from a session last month. I've just started a new job with Wild Child on a children's television series. Hopefully I'll be able to show what I'm working on sometime next year!
