Drawings from Live Models

Upper Torso Tonight was the second class of my drawing course in which there was a live model. Kinda crazy if you aren’t familiar with the practice, but it’s amazing how helpful it is to have a nude model standing there in front of you in 3 dimensions, allowing you to take down the form much more accurately.

Too bad the longest pose so far has been 20 minutes, with the average being 5. I know that it’s hard to hold a single pose for a long period of time, but needless to say most of my stuff is very sketchy. I’m still proud of how quickly I can turn the gesture onto the paper though.

Now if I could only start making the limbs a bit thinner than how I currently draw them. I guess I have the rest of the course to practice. Each class period from here on out should have a similar model for the entire session.
