Life drawing

Life drawing

I was hoping to concentrate on hands and feet today but that wasn't easy with this pose! Oh well. I was determined however to do two or more drawings today so at least I achieved that goal. I got a little more caught up in the shading than I wanted to, trying to make that twist in the back work, so I set a time limit and stopped myself.

A quick sketch. I quite enjoyed the first drawing and my concentration went a bit off with this one. Initially I drew the face but it was so strange (from gravity and being squashed) that I rubbed it out again. I didn't have time to improve on this or I would have tried making those feet look better. B pencil.

Lovely as usual Fiz. Your life drawings remind me of Anthony Ryder's work. You have such a beautiful, delicate, and patient hand.

That is a beautiful, delicate sketch. I admire anybody who can draw figures and this is so realistic. :)
