Recent life drawing

Getting back into it

I went to OCAD for the open life drawing yesterday. I am quite rusty, having drawn but little during the past term. I had a good time nonetheless. Lengths vary from 1 minute to 20 minutes.

Recent Drawings

I haven’t been drawing much this term. But here are a couple of recent 3h life drawings.

Some life drawings

Here are some recent drawings. The top one is of Denis, drawn at Brian Smith‘s studio on Tuesday afternoon. It was a 3h sitting.

These next ones are from the TSA last Sunday morning. I haven’t drawn for a while, so it was a bit rough. Here are the best of the session. The model is Anthony. I had planned to practice drawing the face, but Antony gave me his back view for most of the session!

Various Drawings

Here are some recent drawings, mostly from yesterday’s TSA Open Life Drawing. The top one is from the 3h afternoon pose. Genevieve was the model.

The two last ones are of Murray who modeled for a group of us in my living room on Saturday. I organised the session for the purpose of completing a few anatomy studies and invited friends with an interest in anatomy to join me. I hope to organise a second anatomy drawing session in September, so let me know if you want to join in.

TSA Sunday – Denise

A few drawings from the TSA today, 5-15min.

TSA Sunday – Maria

TSA Sunday – Lidia

TSA Sunday – Michaela

I tried out Mylar again today. It’s not easy to control charcoal on plastic! The pan pastel did glide beautifully on it, and I love the tactile feel of smudging the medium on the page with my fingers. But I also learned not to overdo it — oily charcoaled fingerprints stain Mylar.

Michaela was the model today, for both the long and short poses.
