Morna modelled for our first December session. I was struggling with the conte pastel so did most of the drawings in pencil.
Life Drawing, 27th November

Life Drawing, 6th February

Life Drawing, 12th
Shockingly, I haven’t been to life drawing since November! I felt a bit rusty, but it was a good session.

Sketches from yesterday’s class. I had a lot of fun drawing the short poses. ATYN has recently added another model in Edinburgh, meaning there are short poses before and after the break.
