Tuesday Night Life Drawing

Well despite my obvious need to draw more, I had a blast! I forgot how a life drawing session makes three hours seem like twenty minutes, it all just flies by.

I spent most of the time trying to get back into the swing of things, applying the little knowledge I had to find the anatomy and proportion. Dropping plum lines, taking angles. I forgot how much fun it was. But since there weren't a lot of poses of more than ten minutes in length, I didn't get to draw too much of the actual body. But rediscovering the human form on paper, in a systematic way (I have a technical mind) was still quite enjoyable, and I look forward to next week.

Here's my ugly drawings from last night. Since I don't have a scanner, you get bad image quality AND bad artistry all in one!



Surprisingly I was able to find the proportion the best in the toughest poses, those with the most foreshortening.





(Honestly people, these are the best from a three hour session!)
