Some of last night's drawings





















I finally made it to a live drawing session with my 18"x24" pad. These drawings are from close to the end of the approximately three hours of short poses.

The drawing of the foot is charcoal with some pastel; the others are charcoal. I used an eraser on the first and last drawings to bring up some light.

The middle drawing shows what my drawing looks like when I'm looking at the model and drawing without doing much checking of where the lines are landing on the page.

Note what the model is sitting on in the last drawing: some cloth and pillow over a sideways stool.

  1. You might find this of interest if your looking for x-tra time in front of the model. I'm considering it. I'm rusty
