  • Life Drawing

    There’s only one more session left of life drawing for the year. I like to think I’ve improved quite a bit from when I started life drawing. A long time ago while at art school, I didn’t enjoy life drawing at all. It’s strange that I’m enjoying it so much now! Tonight’s model was Fecility,…

  • 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…

  • Life Drawing

    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.…

  • Life Drawing

    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.…

  • Life Drawing

    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…

  • Cup

    I decided to keep in touch with my illustrator side and drew a cup. I actually followed a tutorial. It’s amazing how much you can forget within a small time frame. The tutorial taught me quite a bit about gradients and the path finder tool. Also how to use expand with objects.

  • Illustrator

    The other day I decided to give myself a little bit of practice in Illustrator. Each print took about 1 – 2 hours. The point of the exercise was to teach myself fundamentals of Illustrator again. Here are the results: I actually quite enjoyed working with Illustrator again. At my job I don’t really get…
