My first sketch of Miss M


  I got off to what I thought was a decent start to the session.  The next couple (which I've already posted) went downhill.  I think by the end I pulled outta it.

Heavy handed


Better than yesterday but still not a really good drawing.  The basics are there but that's 'bout it.

Back to it

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday.  I know I did.  Now it's back to the grind. 


I have to say, I had a rough go with the new model.  Not her fault at all, just real hit and miss.  I got a couple of decent ones but this isn't one of them.

Start and re-start


Thought I'd show a bad first try and a "better" second try.  Neither one is any great shakes but I thought it was a little bit interesting to compare them.

Torso profile


I just got lost in that bit of ribs and muscle.  A blast to draw and a good place to stop.

Another nice start


Just needed more time with this one.  Solid beginning so I'm fairly happy with it.

Gettin' started


This coulda been fun but the time constraint made me pick and choose what to focus on.

Sweet dreams


Was really only getting started on this long pose.  So much left to do.

Wednesday, December 12, 2018

Seated


I like the technique, just soft and heavy handed.

That braid


Lady B loves that braid and I must confess, it's fun to draw.  Usually I don't have enough time to really get it rendered well.  Always reminds me of Wyeth's "Helga" series.

A bit stylized


Got into a bit of a carefree mood when working out her hair and face.  Just a bit of fun.

Some gestures of Lady B



Great group of artists last night.  A couple more sessions and we can call 2018 quits.

Thursday, December 6, 2018

Meh


I think this may have had a decent start but not real happy with where I took this.

Magically hanging in mid-air


Probably shoulda at least indicated the support box and drapery...

French Toasted


Okay, a little silly title but I like the sketch well enough.

That time of year again


I've been cranking out Santa art for weeks now.  It's finally coming to an end.

Relax


Lady E is settling in as our latest model quite nicely, wouldn't you say?

Tuesday, November 27, 2018

Rim lit


Had a lotta fun with the strong shadow on her torso.  And the head was coming along pretty nicely as well.

Wednesday, November 21, 2018

Just a start


Very basic, yet something appealing to me 'bout it.

Thursday, November 15, 2018

Lost edges

 

  ... really doesn't work with her forehead.  At all.

Lady E in progress


It's not often that I can hit the likeness so quickly with a new model but I'm pretty happy with how I was able to do just that with Lady E.

Monday, November 12, 2018

Lady J got back


There is so much going on with the human back that I hardly ever get tired of drawing it.

Gestures of our newest model



Lady E came in and gave us a wonderful series of poses last evening.  The remarkable thing is that she has never modeled before.  It was a lot of fun.

Sway


Would love to go back into this one.

Sketchy... very sketchy


Got distracted with the hand and let the rest of the sketch fall by the wayside.

Tuesday, November 6, 2018

Took a little break...

a short vacation weekend with the wife.  Back to reality now.

Thursday


She reminds me of Madame X by Sargent.  The model, not my drawing.

Wednesday


Had so much fun with this technique.  Too bad one of the other artists got some water on it.  Hence the pucker mark.  Damn!

Tuesday, October 30, 2018

Tuesday

Just a little head study done a little differently than I usually do.  Would like to explore this style of drawing some more.

Monday, October 29, 2018

Monday...


What else is there to say but... Monday.

Gestures of Lady B




Always a pleasure to have Lady B model for us.  I had a hit and miss night but was ultimately happy with a couple of the sketches.

Thursday, October 25, 2018

Finally


...a likeness of Lady J that I'm happy with.

Simple side view

 

Really like the simplicity of this.  It's fun to just focus on a section of the pose and spend some time noodling it.

Tuesday, October 23, 2018

Tuesday back pose


Okay, so I don't post a back pose on every Tuesday, just needed a headline.

Monday, October 22, 2018

Just gettin' a feel for the model


It had been quite a while since I last drew Lady J.  Took a few poses to get into the flow.
