Clothed Figure Drawing - Midterm Roundup
Holy crap, I haven't posted since January (it's all Facebook's fault, it's easier there). Here is a huge pile of the drawings I've done for my Clothed Figure Drawings class so far this semester, all compressed charcoal on newsprint. (except the yellow ones, those are a portable Manila sketchbook)

Oh wow I'm REALLY behind on blog posting this semester.
Here is a huge pile of new pastel life drawing work from the past couple of months:

NuPastels all over EVERYTHING.
In the second week now of my fall semester at AAU - one of my classes is "Sustained Figurative Studies". We're learning a specific rendering technique, involving a specific palette of NuPastel chalk on velvet gray toned paper. It's William Maughan's technique originally, and he's a gentleman definitely worth learning from. It's an uphill battle, but I'm starting to get a feel for this stuff.

I've realized that it's been a LONG time since I've posted any of my life drawings - my large format scanner quit working and I have something like EIGHT MONTHS of sketchbook pages from model sessions that haven't made it into the computer or online. Here are some from today, from my first time working with the fabulous model Toni at the Art Institute of Colorado.
More to come at some point soon, I hope!

Definitely have a pile of art to get scanned from this session, but this was the final piece I did, and I liked it enough to put up separately. Used the brown china markers, and a nice man at the session had prismacolor sticks (sienna) that matched it really well - I'm thrilled with the results!

Big Blue Life Drawing - 9/10/2011
I have a HUGE stack of life drawings from the last month or so... have never drawn as much as I have since I've been teaching this Drawing & Anatomy class. I've got them all scanned, but need some time to photoshop and collage them up... but in the interest of posting something, here's my very favorite piece of life drawing, possibly ever, from this last Saturday. I've been using the manila yellow paper for quite a while, and hadn't busted out the fancy Canson Mi-Tientes in quite a while... I was thrilled with how this came out though. There was a strange burst of light as I was starting with the white pencil (some sort of reflection of the sun off a windshield outside, I suspect) that cast the stripes from the window blinds across the model. Nice to catch a special lighting moment by accident!

Another Wacom session - bottom left was almost an hour with the same pose, really worthwhile to stick with it that long sometimes.

Got the tablet back in action Saturday - this was a great drawing session, good energy - all the artists seemed inspired!
