Something different

A scruffy way to start the day. Smile and the whole world smiles with you.

Last of the new...

A final look at Sara.  I kind of like this one and purposely kept it to a head shot.  I actually wanted to leave it without any indication o...

Perchance to dream

Another similar pose to Wednesdays.  The same reasons apply as to why I like these poses, the weight of the figure collapsing in upon itself...

A few more

Just a couple more over the next three days to finish off the latest session.  Then I'll dredge up some of the older work.  Oofda, turke...

Happy Thanksgiving

Enjoy the love of family and friends today, and hopefully everyday.

Repose...

or perhaps she's just resting before that big Thanksgiving Day feast. Regardless, these are some of my favorite poses. With the angle ...

I got your back

Okay, corny I know. Generic drawing as well. Competent but nothing special. I think that with the upcoming holidays I get a bit distracte...

Okay, back on track

Much happier with this one. Not a great drawing but at least the pose didn't make me look foolish. Got a little too enamored with the...

Uh, oops

Only explanation is that this pose kicked my butt.  And it was only five minutes long.  And... this pose simply kicked my backside.

Basic Construction

I started the evening with the simple construction of the figure.  Five minutes.  I'm actually heartened by this little effort.

Gestures and thoughts

Okay, maybe just gestures.

Final two of the night

I believe I ran out of steam at the end here.  I sort of like the back shot but I just went through the motions with the last piece.  I thin...

... and better

Alright, I actually like most of this one.  The design and execution all work for me.

Better, I think

Standard pose.  Standard drawing.  I'm happy with most of it but am disappointed that I seem to be missing the spark that makes these sh...

Win some...

Would I like to blame this drawing on poor choice of materials?  Of course!  However, I just felt befuddled by this pose.  There's nothi...

Take a seat

Pretty pleased with the direction this one was going.  Not enough time but what got done was encouraging.  Even the flow of the draped sheet...

Bits and pieces

I finished up the gestures on this page and then did the first drawing (bottom right) of the night.  I guess I felt a little impressionistic...

M to the rescue

I want to thank our model for bailing us out at, literally, the last moment. He did, as always, a terrific job and we are grateful. Thanks...

Last sketch of the evening

This drawing proved to be a bit difficult for me.  I probably should have changed locations in the room and gotten a foreshortened angle to ...

Seems like a linear night

I guess I was in a bit of a minimalist mood last Thursday.  I kind of like this although there seems to be a bit of a proportion problem.  B...

A wee bit better

I've done this pose many a time and it never fails to remind me of a Jeff Jones drawing.  For me, that's not a bad thing.

Eh, not quite right

There are some things I like in this sketch but overall I wasn't happy with it.  Too heavy with the outline on the head and how it drew ...

Back to Basics

Simple line work with a dynamic pose.  I was quite happy with the way the evening began.  Wonder how the rest of the night unfolds.

Gest Justures

The warmups from Thursday night.  Still a little sluggish from getting set up for and having last nights artist's reception at the store...

Too busy to post.

Well, too busy to photograph last night's drawings, since I'm obviously posting. We (Gallery Interiors) are having an Artist's ...

Back to class

Seems like we haven't been drawing for a very long time. Back to normal tonight. In the meantime, here is another older drawing, proba...

Two

To make up for yesterday. Again, sorry for the lapse. These are both older drawings from the Nicholas Gallery and MSU-B days. Not sure if...

Oops

Kinda got distracted.  No picture today.  

Knockoff

One of our clients asked for me to reproduce one of my nudes in a smaller size.  I took the liberty of softening the face by rounding it out...

A few of the crew

Last sketch of the night.  Some of the crowd.
