Here are the final three sketches I did last week at life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop. I’m going to be focusing on portrait drawing for the foreseeable future and I want to improve my technique to get an accurate likeness as quickly as I can. But for me, it still takes a while, slogging through fast poses and then slowing down, to analyse the face thoroughly and get something credible. The final pose, bottom left is the one that looks most like the model and I got it in the last 20 minutes of a two and a half hour drawing session. It was very focused, very intense. I used a W.H. Smith HB pencil onto Bristol Board with Faber Castell Pitt 6B Graphite to fill the background.
You can see the progression from the start to the end of the session below. It took a lot of analysis and repeating the drawing to get it right.
