hand at rest

figure drawing class week 6

we had our last class session last night. it was nice to have robert as model again, he's one of those people that make any fear of getting old(er) seem silly. even though it was last class i'll continue figure drawing sessions, am now in-the-know of places to go to get my fix of still bodies... and being excited by fast drawing, think i'll try drawing in public which has always been a little un-nerving for me (the conspicuous and strangers factors).

figure drawing class week 5

this week i added some of the six second drawings that we start the class out with. when i first started figure drawing i really didn't like the really short poses yet now they are a nice warm-up and interesting to look back on to see what happens when one doesn't have time to think. most of the other drawings i've been posting are from poses lasting around twenty minutes.

last week i started a figure drawing class at the university craft center. after mohan mentioned taking a drawing class i felt nostalgic and missed figure drawing sessions that were meditative & great way to develop skills. these are some of the drawings from the first and second week of class. the first two are from last night. i had just made it back-into-town from the Internet Librarian conference (was a blast!!!) and had some blue folders (michele and i found in dumpster) which i decided to draw on. i also used a ball point pen.
