Life Drawing: Robert and Zach
The drawing of Robert's hands were done as quickies on my way around the classroom several saturdays ago. The second drawing was done today at open studio. Twas a 40 minute pose on toned paper, graphite and white chalk.

Life drawing: Caitlin
It has been very long. Semester is over though, so I'm posting some life drawings I've done over the last few months. These have been from either Sunday open studio or my saturday life drawing class where I sneak in a quick sketch while students draw. I don't know how long most of these are so I'll guesstimate. There's a lot of them so I'll post a few each day designated by model :)
Caitlin is a model I've only worked with a handful of times but her reputation as one of the best has been known to me for a few years. I'm just a schmuck for not working with her sooner.

Anatomy homework
Used Nitram brand charcoal on the bottom two pages. It was recommended to me by Stephen Perkins and I must say it does not disappoint. It's nice and soft, doesn't stain the paper as much, and it's easier to push around.

MORE homework and my favorite charcoal piece
Above was this past week's homework.
This week's exercise for figure studio
Last week's Head Drawing homework.
Best 20 minute charcoal I've ever done from life (in my opinion).

Some homework
It's been a while since i've updated the blog, and I apologize since I've been doing surprisingly well this year. Tomorrow after open studio I'll post some of the drawings I've done in the last couple weeks. For now, here's some homework.
The above 3 are for anatomy class with Stephen Perkins. Reacquainting myself with charcoal and slowly learning to love it, despite all my bitching and griping. I'm still working on some compositional sketches for a large multi-figure painting that's our semester long project. I'm thinking about 5 feet, maybe 15-20 figures :)
Above drawing is for Head Drawing with William Maughan, along with a close up. So far he's incredible and gives the most thorough feedback I've ever received. Just three weeks in and I'm learning to enjoy this pastel stuff.
