Cream Colored Gesture

Life drawing gesture on cream paper made with red and grey colored pencil.

A shorter pose from the “cream paper” set.  I drew the model’s left hand particularly well, I think.  Very claw like.

Fun Dancer Lady

I suspect this model (the lady) may have been an exotic dancer in another life.  She was very strong, flexible, and felt comfortable posing upside down for extended periods of time.  

She was terribly fun to draw!

Long, Skinny, Distinctive

Haven’t had enough man on this blog yet.  Some longer poses (10 min and 20 min) of a really fun artist’s model.  Really long and skinny, with a very distinctive belly button.  I might post shorter poses from this session.

Reverse Angle Drawing, A Clothes Study

Sketchbook page featuring drawings of an art teacher in three sitting poses. Sketchbook page featuring drawings of art students and a woman in a chair.

Some times you get bored with the model and draw random people at a life drawing session instead.  It’s probably the best way to practice normal clothing.
