Figure Drawing Session 5
By Anthony on Jan 13, 2010 | In Artwork, Illustrations, Sketches | Send feedback »
You know, I hear that at some schools they have attractive models....or at least interesting ones. The model this evening was devoid of any sort of muscle tone, so I focused largely on gesture and the portrait aspects with each sitting.
Colored pencils have been useful, not only for the color aspect, but because they are plentiful and cheap. I have a large jar full of colored pencils that I never use. They offer a range of values that is acceptable, and are smoother and capable of lighter marks than charcoal, yet deeper than graphite. I believe the bottom drawing was done with either charcoal pencil or carbon pencil.
Tuesdays bring bad news. Each time I went in for these sessions, it seemed that I would get a phone call to tell me that things with my father had gotten worse, one more item of hope had died. Needless to say, that was very distracting, as my mind was elsewhere.
