Repose #82

A nice little sketch that suffers from a lack of attention to the face, otherwise I'm pretty happy with this one.

More stuff from the vault

Back to Amber. Her lithe figure makes for some very fun and interesting drawings.

Into the backlog we go

We were without a model last night so we must dig into the archives to make quota. Let's start with one of the last drawings of Amber f...

Ambiguous

Very organic drawing for me. Swooping lines and no real structure. Different for me yet I like the end product.

Another Head Study

Kinda fun head study using frenetic strokes and some focused detail.

A nearly full figure?

I paid more attention once I realized I was being lax with the proportions. A little boxy with the technique but I was happy that I got bac...

Sanguine

A quick study in red.

What the...

was I thinking? I noodled away on the head study and then found that I had an extra 15 seconds and knocked in the rest of the body only to ...

C'est la vie

Not on my "A" game with these drawings. If you stick around and follow this week you'll see that my proportions were not alwa...

Gesture drawings

Tyson was our model last night. A great job as usual.

From gesture to finish

Amber took a very intriguing gesture pose that I asked her to recreate for a ten minute drawing. I am very happy with how it turned out and...

Abstract

A specific vignette using the arms as borders and utilizing the lost edges technique that I love so much. So much to draw in such a confine...

Nice pose

Another challenging pose. When I say challenging I don't mean a pose that is difficult or overly complex. I often mean one that is fam...

Cheeky

Take the title any way you want. I liked the pose and was fairly happy with the sketch. With Amber's physique I have a difficult time ...

Another variation

Of one of my favorite poses. Amber closed this one up a bit which drew my attention to the arms more than the legs this time. With only fi...

Five

A quick 5 minute pose. The tricky part of drawing Amber are her proportions. Being as thin and fit as she is presents problems that make y...

Gestures with Amber

Another terrific job from Amber. Her figure lends itself perfectly to anatomical life drawing and we appreciate when she models for us. I ...

Best of the night

Oops, forgot to post this morning. Oh well, this was my favorite drawing of the evening. It just came together.

Minimal

Minimal effort, minimal result. Had higher hopes for this one but I had to wait for the next one to be happy.

Takin' it easy

I had fun with this one. At ten minutes it gave me time to work out a lot of the folded material and other elements, not just the figure. ...

Demure

Standard pose but still an interesting one. The right calf in this one creates a problem because of foreshortening. Couple that with the l...

More delicate lines

I should have indicated the right hip. Otherwise this one seems to have me still focused on the light linework and careful delineation of t...

Delicate line weight

When I started drawing this one I felt in a bit of a Fechin mood. The light lines and such just made me feel a little more focused.

Gestures of Sara

As always, we start with gestures. Sara does such a great job for us.

Hmmm?

Another nice pose. I had fun with this one. I keep wanting to do the hair like Jeff Jones would do in ink, all squiggly and frantic.

So so

Fell down on this one. I can't even use time constraints for this. I seemed to have had a problem with proportions on a couple of thes...

My favorite pose of the evening

This pose was one I would like to have turned into a painting. I think it's because it reminds me of a very large painting from "T...

Happy Independence Day

Here's hoping everyone has a fun and safe Fourth of July.

Another five minute sketch

With her long and lean figure Amber presents some interesting challenges when it comes to drawing. You have to find the points where the sh...

Great Pose

This was my favorite pose of the evening. Being five minutes I chose to use a quicker, heavier handed approach to try and capture as much o...

The gestures

Let's get these out of the way first. By the way, welcome back, Amber.
