Finally, more life drawing!

Some Lady
An hour ish

This is the first life drawing session since my last picture, so yea, not much improvement since. We also had to draw with the lights off, with a light pointed at the model, so our pages were dark and it was hard to see subtleties. Not sure why we had "lighting" during gesture drawing too, since those don't involve shading. I was behind that light, unfortunately. I also think I'll start going to the wednesday lifedrawing sessions at night.

Drawing 120, First Assignment

Up in your Face
Approx. 2.5 hours, pencil, no hand ref.
Our first assignment in drawing 120! "Take a cliche image or phrase and subvert it. USe pencil on a 23x35 sheet." I'm not used to using pencil on such big paper, but I liked that the assignment was open, so I could use my own drawing style. "Those dudes was gettin' all up in my face, ya heard?" So, I put dudes in his face.
