Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. Not had a good time, didn’t take my mojo with me. My first two drawings were clunky and didn’t work at all. So I gave up trying to draw the full figure and focused on his head. It was better. I’ve worked with this model before,Continue reading “Wrong! Wrong! Not Too Bad!”

The Egon Shiele model (female nude)
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. We had the ‘Egon Shiele’ model again. She’s great to draw. This was a one hour pose and a lot of it was spent drawing the hands. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. I saved the drawing regularly toContinue reading “The Egon Shiele model (female nude)”
New Model (Female Nude )
I worked with a new model at life drawing this week. She is great and looks like she could have modelled for Egon Shiele a hundred years ago. It takes a while to get used to a new model. I usually have to try out different techniques. I drew this with the Markers app onContinue reading “New Model (Female Nude )”
Fierce Foreshortening ( Female Nude )
I did this digital sketch at last night’s life drawing session. I like the challenge of foreshortening and a reclining pose is right up my street. The shape of the body is very strange but I measured accurately and that’s the shape thrown by the foreshortening. I used the free Markers app on my SamsungContinue reading “Fierce Foreshortening ( Female Nude )”
1001 Nights
Mostly I blog at night and this is my 1001st blog post so I thought it was a neat title. I have just come back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I concentrated on portraiture this week. It’s nice to have a very hairy person to draw and I got very Renaissance in myContinue reading “1001 Nights”
Fiendish Foreshortening (Female Nude)
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop and here’s a drawing in progress. The pose was about 45 minutes. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app,saving regularly to keep a record of the development of the drawing. I like to go to life drawing regularly as theContinue reading “Fiendish Foreshortening (Female Nude)”
Head And Shoulders
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop and I have been focusing on drawing a head and shoulders pose. Our model was sitting above my eyeline with her head tilted back which I find very hard to draw, so it was good practice. I used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using theContinue reading “Head And Shoulders”
Back To Normal
Just got back from the life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I’ve been home from Pakistan for 5 days and need to re establish my regular routine. I have worked with this model for some years now; tonight I decided to focus on doing a portrait. I saved it frequently to show the developmentContinue reading “Back To Normal”
Man And Pole.
Here’s another digital life drawing from last night. The model, although an older man, is fit enough to hold this difficult pose for half an hour.
The Hard Hand
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I chose to punish myself this evening with a foreshortened hand. It was hard. After the tea break (with a Victoria Sandwich) we had a one-hour pose and I spent the whole time working on this hand and knee.
