I tried something new (for me) this evening. I scanned a monochrome life drawing I did some time ago and uploaded it onto my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8. I loaded it into the free Markers app and coloured it in. Great fun. This is one of my favourite models, an older woman who isContinue reading “Colouring In”

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 )”

I know that goes against what’s currently our culture’s idea of beauty, but I like it – great to draw a bodyContinue reading “Wrinkles! [caution – male nude]”
A Dragon Kimono
Sometimes in the life drawing group we draw the models with their clothes on, just for a change. Some of our models are quite flamboyant characters and have some intriguing clothes with them. This model had a fabulous kimono with a Dragon and flowers embroidered all over it. Here she is with the robe inContinue reading “A Dragon Kimono”
