Bowler Hat Guy with model Johnathon Cripple

After a long time, I managed to squeeze in time to do some life drawing. I went to a costumed session at Center Stage Gallery, featuring model Johnathan Cripple. Here are some of my sketches from the 3 hour session.

Teale Street Sculpture Studio Drawings

Went over to Teale Street Sculpture Studio for some drawing with my friend Terry. Sometimes I forget key supplies. This time, I brought my brushes, and water etc, but forgot my watercolor paints. So I improvised. I found a hiliter marker in the car and borrowed a charcoal pencil from Terry. I had a sprayer bottle which I found does some cool things. I scribbled out a layout with the marker, then sprayed it which makes it bright and washes it away a bit, then applied the charcoal pencil to the wet paper which gives a beautiful smooth line. I took a brush and added a wash to create some shadow areas.

Rockstar Part 1

I started to get bored with the watercolors. Not because I feel like I know a lot, rather I just needed a change of pace. I brought in my tablet pc (which I could draw on directly) for this session and created these in Painter and Photoshop. It was actually very difficult to do these very quick sketches. Every time I switch to something new, there is a learning curve. That is obvious in the varying quality of these sketches.

Sailor Part 2

The rest of the Sailor sketches from this session.

Drawing Club Boxer Part 4

  

Eventually, I hope to bring more of this quality to the sketches I do at shows or out and about. These drawing sessions help a lot, because we have such hard working models who hold poses. It becomes a lot more difficult to capture that essence elsewhere, when people are in constant motion. See what some of my fellow artists came up with at this session here.
