Life Drawing, 8th November

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 – Irish Lass

All In Gesture – Irish Lass

I thought I'd shake things up by drawing on paper as I've been glued to my computer the last few months ... especially as it's been a while since I last did some gesture drawing. These are some sketches from the 'Irish Lass' All In Gesture class from back in March,...

All In Gesture – Rapunzel

All In Gesture – Rapunzel

Rapunzel from Tangled is such a fun character. The addition of a frying pan prop was an excellent touch! I felt out of my depth with this one - I may need to redo the class sometime. But despite some wonky drawings I enjoyed taking part!

All In Gesture – Tinkerbell

All In Gesture – Tinkerbell

All In Gesture – Ahsoka Tano

All In Gesture – Ahsoka Tano

I drew these back in June - now they're finally seeing the light of day. Ahsoka is a Star Wars character I mainly know through The Mandalorian as I haven't watched any of the Clone Wars TV shows, so I was aiming more for the live-action look.

All In Gesture – Legolas

All In Gesture – Legolas

I struggled a lot in this class and was only beginning to warm up by the end. The variety of emotions and poses was good fun! In my head I was imagining Legolas at various ages - young and slightly pensive to older and battle-experienced.
