Figure Drawing Session 7
By Anthony on Jan 13, 2010 | In Artwork, Illustrations, Sketches | Send feedback »
Some of the drawings from my last session for 2009. This model was a complete crackpot. I don't understand why models feel the need to recreate poses from the work of other artists, but she brought in a whole list of paintings and did a brief history lecture before getting to work. I suppose it would have been impolite to say "shut up and take your clothes off." Personally, I have no interest in simulating the work of others, especially when the lighting is so different. One of these days I'll have to start hiring my own models.
I worked largely in markers this evening. The double ended, chisel tipped Itoya Calligraphy markers are phenomenal for their range of marks, especially when they start to dry out. They can give you a range of values that will rival charcoal. I use these primarily when I'm working on character sketches.
After this class, I went to sit with my father at the hospital. This was the first of many long, long nights sleeping in a chair next to his bed. I showed him these drawings that night, and other sketches I'd been working on (which will be in my next post). This was the last time that my father was able to see my artwork. It's difficult to think that there was so much that I did that he never saw, will never see. Cancer sucks.
