Rough Work

Life Drawing - 15 minute

Tonight I went to my second life drawing class, and unlike the last time I had a good time. Instead of one static pose for 3 hours we did a whole bunch of warm up sketches (2 min poses) that I did on rough paper with conte.  In the last hour we did one 25 minute pose and 2 15 minute ones. The above picture was my very last of the evening and my favorite by far.

I focused on proportion (except her left right arm), and line quality. I didn’t want to worry too much about lighting or trying to create a beautiful piece of art. I wanted to pose to have weight and a bit of life. I’m really pleased with how I did for my second ever class, and I am looking forward to next week.

Edit: So I screwed up my left and right…big deal.
