Here are a couple more drawings I did at life drawing group at Swansea Print Workshop last night. These are quick ones. I sat on the plans chest to draw the first one, so I was looking down on the model from above and to one side. I measured the left leg loads of timesContinue reading “Some Quick Ones”

Up Above Looking Down.
Just another daily drawing of Husb, at his computer. I stood on a stool and looked down on him. Interesting perspective and foreshortening. I drew into my A5 Tate Gallery sketchbook with a graphite stick, very quickly, certainly less than 10 minutes. And now off to the pub quiz.
The Hand
Here’s the drawing I did at life drawing group last night using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 with the free Markers app. The pose was a bit difficult because the model’s hand was so far in front and there was some extreme foreshortening.
The Nightmare Foot
Here’s another digital life drawing I did at Swansea Print Workshop this week. I love doing life drawing; I love anatomy and I like to challenge myself with a bit of foreshortening. It’s hard to draw though. That left foot was a nightmare. I used my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with a free MarkersContinue reading “The Nightmare Foot”
Fierce Foreshortening ( Male Nude)
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. Tonight’s pose gave me a go at some terrific foreshortening, with the right hand and foot thrust forward. Drawn with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8 using the free Markers app in 40 minutes.
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 )”
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.
Foetal!
Here’s another one from last night’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I love drawing models in a foetal position. There’s a terrific tension and movement in the pose as well as some great foreshortening. I precoloured a canvas sheet, size A3, with Rodamine Red oil pigment, squeegeed on with a cheap window-cleaning squeegeeContinue reading “Foetal!”
Indulging Myself
Just back from life drawing at Swansea Print Workshop. I really like this model because he’s as thin as Egon Schiele’s models and I came all over German Expressionist. We had one of the spotlights on so I was able to indulge myself with some chiaroscuro. I also love extreme foreshortening like this. Great eveningContinue reading “Indulging Myself”
Not Enough Time
I had a really good run of drawings at Thursday night’s life drawing session at Swansea Print Workshop. I decided to use different drawing materials and papers during the evening to keep it fresh, otherwise I tend to slip into my comfort zone of Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens and small sketchbooks. This is aContinue reading “Not Enough Time”
