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...
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.

Vilidian modelled at this week's life drawing session. Unfortunately I'd run out of paper (more is on the way) but I drew in Photoshop instead. I tried to resist using 'Undo' but didn't always succeed ... It was nice having some close-up poses near to the camera.

Sue modelled at last night's life drawing session.
