Life Drawing in Action – Working Coat

During my last Life Drawing in Action session I was in the library and noticed this lady organising her work at a desk. I really liked her coat but didn't get 'round to drawing the rest of her before she moved on . Just shows I need to draw faster when Drawing in Action …

Life Drawing – Strong

This is a warm up piece I did in 30 seconds. I really like this one because of the confidence in my lines and how it comes across with a lot of strength (if that makes sense, lols). During our warm ups, the model would take a pose for only 30 seconds, in which time we …

Life Drawing – Simplicity

I get the impression from his left 'elbow' of 3D space as the lines move toward his left 'hand'. I remember that while drawing this one, I didn't care what it looked like …

Life Drawing – Out of Proportion

With this study, I found myself drawing the proportions with 'sketchy' charcoal strokes. This resulted in the body's proportions becoming warped. I believe this was because I wasn't using confident strokes and I didn't look at the model nearly enough. As you can see in the picture, I tried to 'restart' but ran out of …
