In the beginning there is the sketch. And it may be good. Or it may be rubbish. But even if it’s rubbish, it’s still useful because I can look at it critically and work out what’s wrong with it and that’s learning something. Here are three pages from my life drawing sketchbook. The middle one is being developed into a large mixed media piece and I’ll also work it up as a large monotype. The top one is OK, but I think the pose is a bit boring so I won’t develop it any further. The bottom one ….. well I lost the plot that night!

It’s funny how life drawing just is like that. I think sometimes it has a lot to do with weather there is a pleasing movement and structure to the pose. Some poses you just can’t do anything with!
That’s right. They’re good for practice but frustrating 😦
I love it when you share this stuff. I agree that the middle one could turn into something. RE: #3… I think I’d loose interest too if I had to look up a man’s grotch all night long.
hahaha maybe I have a different perspective lol 😀
