    Life Drawing #49

    This session was very productive also like the last around drawing and the new Woody pencils, but also experimented with some acrylic ink and cheap drawing ink I have as washes. Usually I avoid such ink because I prefer opaque inks like Posca or Molotow, and think the colours look a bit weak – but…

    Life Drawing #34

    Slim pickings this week, for a couple of reasons my mind was elsewhere. A couple of nice pieces – the 5 minute Markal drawing of course is one of the best as usual, and a longer piece below, mixed media. After this week and the last I decided to go back to basics and work…

    Week 15 was a funny sort of session – because for the first time ever, the model didn’t turn up! So Robin who runs the session posed clothed for a while. I was in my element since I originally learned to draw people clothed during G.C.S.E and A level, I actually find nudes harder. After…
