Quick Sketch Portrait Figure Drawing Model Montage
This is a montage of quick sketch portraits of a female figure drawing model done over about 30 minutes. Each of the three poses was 10 minutes, and the composition was “on the fly” during the open studio and not planned ahead of time. I did move the first two portraits around until I firmed up the composition prior to adding sfumato and the third portrait but I did not resize or rotate the portraits. A digital drawing tablet opens some really great possibilities for on the go sketching.
Portrait of Fellow Female Artist 3/4 View
Model was a no show, so the monitor posed for a portrait. She had these glasses which were really fun to work on. Basic digital drawing tablet drawing with some flat brush work for highlights and shading.
Standing Female Figure Drawing Model
Same pose as a few weeks ago, with the same model, some of the painters were continuing thier paintings. Did a digital drawing tablet drawing with emphasis on value and lost edges and then added highlights and reds with a flat brush. Also cheated a little by making it a bit narrower with the adjust tool. I have a tendency to make things wider than they should be.
Profile Portrait of Female Figure Drawing Model
Short pose of 20 minutes. Did a monotone portrait with digital drawing tablet.
Foreshortened Female Figure Drawing Model
Nice highly forstortened drawing on a digital drawing tablet which lasted for about 40 minutes. Female figure drawing model was moving her head around a bit but the overall the pose was nice.
Seated Female Figure Drawing Model
Nice natural lighting on this seated figure drawing model pose. Quick sketch with a digital drawing tablet so only had about 20 minutes.
Torso of Male Figure Drawing Model
Hour long pose with a digital drawing tablet. Figure drawing model did a good job of getting back into the pose after the break. It took a little for him to sink back into the pose but once he did it was pretty close. Had a good gesture but wish I had more time to add some highlights.
Torso of Female Figure Drawing Model
Quick sketch digital drawing tablet figure drawing. Pose was about 30 minutes long but wish I had more time. Great female figure drawing model picked a super pose and I got a good start on the gesture.
Portrait Female Figure Drawing Model
Just got back from 2 weeks of vacation. First digital drawing tablet painting of 2018. Went ok despite being a little out of practice. Amazing how many possibilities there are with just black and white on a mid tone. Figure drawing model had a bit of frown. Pencil and flat brush tools.
