Quick Sketches of Male and Female Figure Drawing Models Figures and Portraits. Each was 5 or 20 minutes so I had to work fast on the digital drawing tablet. Some of the slides are on the fly composites of several sketches. Tap any of the thumbnails below to get into the slide show.
This was a long pose of a seated female figure drawing model that I started with the pencil tool. The drawing went ok and then I addded some shadows, highlights and reds with the flat brush tool.
Quick sketch of 20 minutes with a female figure drawing model with the pencil tool. Liked the pose and while I did not get around to drawing them, I felt the the hands on the head added a lot of tension to the pose as it stretched out the torso and pelvis.
Quick portrait sketches of 10 minutes each with the pencil tool. Using the Bridgeman four line method and felt like it does help the volume and getting the planes to show clearly.
Pair of quick sketch portraits of a female figure drawing model from today. I was pretty happy with the way these came out and decided to post them. Using the Bridgeman 4 line portrait method here and it tends to keep the proportions and planes on the right path.
Quick 20 minute portrait of a male figure drawing model with the pencil tool. I have been using the Bridgeman 4 line portrait method recently and it seems to be helping.
This was a hour long reclining pose with a female figure drawing model. Some foreshortening and so a chance to work on perspective. I used the pencil tool and shrank the initial drawing a bit after the first 20 minute period to fit the rest of the abdomen and pelvis on the screen. I don’t think the image manipulation compromised the drawing any.
Reclining female figure drawing model digital tablet drawing. Had about an hour, really liked the pose and just got off a week long break from drawing due to a cold. Used the pencil tool but did not have time for highlights or brush work.
Standing male figure drawing model digital drawing tablet figure drawing. Long pose and started with the pencil tool followed by highlights and some shadows with the flat brush tool. There was a nice directional lighting.
Yesterday I felt like I had got back into the swing of things with this digital drawing tablet figure drawing of a standing female figure drawing model. I was out for a couple of weeks, did not do any drawing and things were a little rough when I first got back to drawing. This was a new model and she picked a pretty hard pose but it had some tension to it and brought out the shoulder girdle. This was about an hour and I was pretty happy with the drawing.
