As I mentioned in my last post, Saturday I attended a figure class. Well, it's not really a class as it's an open studio to do figure drawing. When I signed up for my Wednesday class, I had no idea that this Saturday figure studio was also included (it's on for 6 weeks of my 12 week class). It's wonderful. I have not taken an actual figure class with instruction so I'm doing the best I can. Practice certainly helps!! My sister is taking a course too so she & I will meet there each Saturday for the next 5 weeks. She has taken figure drawing courses so she's more advanced when it comes to the nude figure.
This was done after some quick gesture drawings (quick sketches to warm you up). I did not write down how long this was - maybe 5 - 10 minutes.
I started focusing on one body part after awhile & generally picked his head.
I had only taken newsprint with me so the background of these is pretty accurate (plus I did scan them in instead of photographing them).
This one was one of my favourite ones and was done near the end of the studio time. It was to be a 20 minute drawing but I finished it faster since it was all lines & more abstract. This one is photographed since it's larger. He is decapitated only because I ran out of room on my sheet.
