Loose and free

Boy, I was really getting into the rough handling of the charcoal on this one. Too bad I forgot about the face until the end. I really lik...

Skip?

The nose reminds me of Malcolm Liepke's art. Not a bad thing in my mind.

Looking back

I wanted to have a less defined back but am not sure I pulled off the look I was trying for. Her head drifted and caused me some grief but...

Scratchings

I was feeling my way around this drawing and really got into the process. Not sure the end product is what I hoped for but I really liked t...

Some gestures to get the week started

Another great job from Sarah. We all appreciate her taking time away from getting her son's birthday party prepared. Thank you, Sarah ...

Last sketch of the night

Would like to have had a bit more time (a familiar plaint) but was fairly happy with this one.

Hmmm, maybe I spoke too soon

Actually, I think I like today's better than yesterday's. Lot's of nice dimension to this one. Yesterday's, today's an...

Black choker

Probably my favorite drawing of the night. I kind of keyed on the black choker, must have been some subconscious nudge brought on by Andrew...

Two mediocre ones

make for one okay post. The second image sure has some proportion problems. Tomorrow starts the second half of the session and I'm muc...

Sittin' around

wondering when these artists will be done with this one. I always wonder what goes through the model's head when taking a pose. Long d...

Slow start

This drawing just kind of went nowhere. Made for a slow start to the evening. But things picked up later.

Sara redux

Sara has again graced us with her poses and we are very grateful for that. Here are the gestures from last night.

Last weeks last drawing

I was really enjoying this drawing. Lot's of great lines and shapes to work with. But now it's time to focus on a new set of drawi...

Two more for Wednesday

Again with the time thing. I liked where both of these were going, just got too involved in the details and decided to forgo the overall f...

Two for Twosday

Seated repose

How artsy of a title is that?! I would love to have had more time on this one. Really liked the classic feel of the pose and I think that ...

Always a favorite

If you've blurked around on this blog you'll probably notice I really enjoy drawing backs. I'm sure I've expounded on it ma...

A bit rusty...

but I think I surprised myself with how easy it was to get back into it. As the week progresses I hope you will agree.

Back to business

Ah, it's good to get back to normal with the Black Hand Group. Here are the gestures from last night.

Pardon the interruption

I am having OSX problems with my system and will not be posting until they are resolved. Sheesh, I had no idea how connected I was to this ...

Progress

Pretty enjoyable getting to watch a drawing progress rather than wondering when the time is going to run out.  Sitting back and studying the...

Start of something new

I'm gonna post a work in progress and see how far I can take this before I either ruin it or decide it's done.  I don't get to d...

Okay, not interesting but...

it is something new.  A rep for one of the lines we carry at the store has a small, furry dog.  Uh huh, my lovely wife thought I should do a...
