Life Drawing March 10, 2012

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!

Drawing & Anatomy Class - Week 3

I've got a whole bunch of sketches scanned from the model sessions in my Drawing & Anatomy class so far - I'm walking around critiquing, helping, and trying to teach a lot, but still getting a ton of drawing done on a regular basis.  It's a pretty great feeling to not always be starting from rust & cobwebs!

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!

Loving this new Bluetooth Intuos4 Wireless tablet!

brought in the tablet again today - it's actually pretty nice for loose sketching once you get used to doing it.

Dragged the wacom to life drawing today.

Life Drawing + Death Drawing

Had an amazing time last night at the Body Worlds exhibit - Artists Night - at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

And some life drawings from this past weekend. I love the way the French Gray prisma pencils worked on the page, but the scanner didn't pick it up too well.
