Life Drawing September 23, 2011

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!

One host to rule them all...

Natalie Portman as Mathilda in Léon

Some sketches for the weekly Caricaturama 3000 Facebook Challenge. Still my favorite role she's ever played.

Some other recent pinup-type sketches

A really fun session, Brooke came along too and shot some photos - saw some friends there too. We all sweated together in that small uncomfortable gallery space, and got some art done :)

oh, and did some doodling before the session got started:

Dragged the wacom to life drawing today.
