Thanks to Wes for getting the free Saturday life drawing sessions going again. There was a really good turnout. These drawings are pretty bad...this is the first life drawing session I've been to in over 2 years I think...maybe more.

Bad Form

colored pencil, 10-15 min.

This one's pretty heinous. I sketched it out of my head in between loads of laundry. This is a great example of what happens when your drawing skills atrophy. The rendering isn't god awful, for a 10 minute sketch. That kind of "muscle memory" takes a long time to completely go away. But everything else (lighting, composition, etc.) is very weak, and the proportions in particular are WAY OFF. I've always had a weird issue with facial construction, in which the area from the eyebrow ridge down to the bottom lip basically ends up scaled up about 20% and rotated about 15* out away from the main facial plane of the skull. This one suffers from that pretty bad. Not having a model or reference will accentuate these issues. Oh well, I wasn't expecting to get much of anything done this week, and you know what I say about bad drawings vs. no drawings.

Currently listening to Nick Cave (just bought tickets to the Ogden show, woohoo!).

Tha Boss

colored pencil, 30 min-ish

This dude definitely had the parking lot on smash.
