  • Life Drawing

    I decided to go to life drawing this week since there was no model last week. Again we had Nadia as our model and she does love the difficult poses. At the same it’s annoying but also challenging. This week I ended up using Bond layout paper (50gsm) and compressed charcoal pencils. I’m slowly working…

    I haven’t been to life drawing for a while and the first session I turn up to the model decides to call in sick. The session wasn’t lost, we decided to concentrate on drawing portraits of each other instead. Each sitting went for about 30 minutes, which is why most of the models eyes are…

  • Life Drawing

    There was no life drawing session last week because of easter and I didn’t have time to photograph my sessions from the previsous weeks sessions. Again I believe I need more practice in drawing the figure. I haven’t been drawing every day but I’m slowly improving. 30 second sketches. 1 minute sketches. 2 minute sketches.…

    Last Thursday, and guess what I did? Come on guess! That’s right I went to life drawing again! Claire had returned to life drawing this week as a model, there was a good reason why she hadn’t been modelling for so long, she’s 6 months pregnant! A long time ago, when I first started life…

    I was a bit surprised I decided to go back to life drawing this week. I normally go every fortnight but lately I’ve been feeling the need to improve in drawing. If you are interested in Life Drawing and are in the Port Adelaide area on a Thursday night pop in to Active Art Studios.…

  • Starting life drawing again

    So I finally decided to head back to life drawing after a long break. It was a mistake not to keep going with drawing from when I left off. I have been practising hands but not the figure itself, going back last Thursday was a bit of a shock to me. I don’t feel like I’ve gotten…

    The last life drawing session was actually on the 15th of December but I haven’t got round to posting them till now! We had 30 seconds poses to start off with and a new model I haven’t meet before. Nadia is a fan of difficult to draw poses and foreshortening. I didn’t mind a challenge…

  • Life Drawing

    I’m ashamed to say I haven’t been to a life drawing session in the last two weeks and next week’s session is the last one of the year! I had planned to go last week but felt lazy and decided not to leave the house, that will teach me! Where will I get my practice…

  • Life Drawing

    Gosh I’m getting a bit lazy with the Life drawing updates! I’m trying to go every fortnight now, I find myself a bit exhausted with full time work if I go every week! I know it sounds strange but that’s how I feel at the moment. As per usual here are my drawings from the…

  • Life Drawing

    I didn’t go to life drawing last week, due to a sick chook needing attention but fortunately I had forgotten to put up the previous weeks drawings. That week’s model was a girl and quite athletic too. I found her much easier to draw than the previous weeks model. This time I came prepared with…
