This week's life drawing! I really loved this session and think the 5 minute poses turned out great.

I had such a great life drawing session today! I feel like I can really see the improvement in the first drawings I did compared to these ones today.

Some life drawings from last week! I really wish I had a way to take better pictures of these.

Some of my favourite life drawings from yesterday. Definitely need to work on taking better pictures of these!

Life Drawing

My drawings from my third session. I'm not very happy with the one on black paper, but I've decided to include it anyway and I'm hoping to improve on it next time. I really enjoyed doing the quick poses today, it was nice to not really think about what I was doing and make lines instinctively instead. I'm already looking forward to next week!

These are some of the life drawings from our second lesson. I enjoyed experimenting with different materials, and even though I'm not very pleased with many of the drawings, it was still fun to try something new. I especially enjoyed the last drawing, where we were given black paper and chalk to draw the model. I'm hoping to try that method again next week!

Today was our first life drawing lesson! I've been so excited to get some life drawing in as I've done it before and I've really enjoyed it. The class was great, and I learnt a lot, like drawing bigger and using different kinds of strokes. Next lesson we will be doing continuous line drawings and I can't wait for that. Here's what I did this lesson.

We started with a 20 minute pose -

It came to my attention after drawing this that I'd done it really small on my A1 page, which was also pointed out to me by everyone else! I learnt from that and resolved to do my next drawings a little bigger.

We then did some quick poses all in succession, starting with 5 minutes, going down to 1 minute and then back up to 5 again -

I enjoyed doing these quick poses, because it really loosened me up and got me into the habit of drawing quickly and using my time efficiently. I don't like these poses much, and it didn't help I wasn't great at taking good pictures of them either! However it was nice to give it a go.

Lastly we did another 20 minute pose, and this time I filled up the whole page!

I loved my first life drawing lesson and can't wait to do more next week.
