fig

a few random drawings over the last few weeks.
you know how just when you're feeling like you're making a few gains, everything suddenly seems to worse and more disparaging than before, yeah...

figure dump

I've been taking a figure drawing class down at the Bridge Academy from Adam Ford. I've been down there once a week for 4 weeks now, only 2 of which Adam has been on hand to teach us (it's an every other kind of setup, the other weeks are studio & model time). It's really upped my game quite a bit. One of the things that Adam really stresses is speed; if you only have 5 min, get a drawing done, if you only have 20 min, get a drawing done, etc, etc. Draw, draw, draw. This only about a 3rd of what I've done down there.


20-40 min
30sec - 2 min

5-20 min

scratch n smudge

figure from weekend before last. some hiccups with the nu-pastel and some lines i couldn't pull back up, so i worked the charcoal pencil on the face for better control. think i'm getting a little better at rendering faces, but i'll keep on keepin on...

nekkid

another figure drawing from this weekend. busted out the graphite to see what i could do.

portrait

fig drawing

i've been doing a lot more short session and gesture drawings lately. trying to shake things up, and to work on seeing light masses. these were about 30 min ea.

life drawing

a different approach. more sketchy, with this new mid-tone conte-charcoal pencil i picked up.


a quickie. just enough to block it in.
