Just practicing drawing some faces outta some magazines. The top three girls are models from ads and the bottom is a musician named Esperanza Spalding.
Some doodles and gesture sketches from Devil’s Point last week.
(Yes, that is O’Brien from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine getting a butt wiggled at his face. Sometimes my husband asks me to draw things for him and I do it.)
Life drawing, first week of March <— Click to see many, many more sketches.
Many thanks to Leia Weathington for posing for us! She has a really excellent new book titled The Legend of Bold Riley coming out from Northwest Press in June and oh my goodness it’s going to be a goddamn treat, I tell you what.
Blogged: February Life Drawing, Week Three
Some more life drawings! Still trying to do the ink-straight-to-the-paper thing.
Blogged: Second week of February life drawings
I’m pushing myself to work with stronger, solid, ink shadows and textures– which is why I went to Hipbone Studio‘s Saturday session resolved to use ONLY my brushpen for the entire three hours of drawing. That’s right, no penciling first. Just straight ink. Eeek!
Here are a few of Ben Dewey’s watercolor paintings from another great life drawing session at Periscope Studio.
More life drawing. Periscope had its monthly live session, and I made room in my schedule so I could attend. For me, the goal of life drawing isn’t to produce nice looking art. It’s to to keep my eye for light, form, and anatomy sharp and sensitive. If the actual drawings come out okay, that’s a just a nice bonus.
