Rat Queen Sketches

Life-drawing 25th July 2011

I got to life-drawing class late and was a bit rattled for some of the early, short poses. This combined with not having been life-drawing for a few weeks meant that I felt this wasn't one of my better sessions, though I was quite pleased with the final pose.
I think I may try markers again for the next class.

It feels that it's been so long since I drew them. I had a "spare" morning at work, so I indulged, but now real life intrudes once again.

I neglected the markers and stuck with charcoal. I think these drawings are less considered than ones I've done in the last. I'm attempting to speed up and get tonal work in there, so until I'm used to the change of pace, my proportions go a bit skew-whiff in places.

Second line: 5 minute poses
Third line: and 15 and a 20 minute pose
Bottom line: 30 minutes

I have inconsistent success when there's a male life model because most of the time life-drawing classes get female models in. I prefer to draw men, even though I don't always draw them particularly well. I need the practice! Some people won't turn up to a class if they know there's going to be a male model. A stupid and lazy attitude.

My shorter poses feel a lot more unscructured than I would like, but I'm trying to speed up when it comes to applying tone to a drawing. Consequently the forms are a little erratic. I'm also trying to be a little more confident/bold with application of marker. Not always successful.
After I returned home, I realised there was a proportion problem with the final pose. her head was far too small in comparison to the rest of her body, so I distorted it in Photoshop (marked 'CORRECTED') to something that seems a lot more realistic.
So, not my best session, but not a disaster either.
