Came back from a long vacation. Spent my time drawing from fashion magazines. Since I do a lot of figure drawing I’m good at drawing naked people contorting in weird ways. Fashion modeling however has clothed models in stiff positions, which is a change of pace from what I used to. The other nice thing … Read More

Figure drawing : couple
Went to a life-drawing session last Wednesday and had both a male and a female model. It’s only the fourth time I’ve drawn two models at the same time and it can be challenging to draw two bodies in short poses. I personally wonder how the heck the models can actually be both naked at … Read More

Figure drawing week 4
