Nice long 6 hour pose with a reclining female figure drawing model. Started with black colored pencil and then added both white highlights and reds in the shadows. She was laying on a red sheet with some strong overhead light so that red reflections in the shadows were really strong. Would have actually liked to keep going. Felt like I was able to keep going into the drawing without leaving it looking overworked.
Long pose with a good male model for 3 hours. Felt a little rough in execution but still liked the way it turned out despite this.
It has been a while since I posted. Getting over the flu season. This is a drawing from a week ago, which at first I did not really appreciate. Now I have decided I like it even though it is gestural. I am really enjoying the new drawing tablet, switching to the 15 inch surface book has been a real plus. The bigger screen opens up some options.
This was an hour long pose, which went pretty well. Used the black colored pencil, and really felt my new 15 inch digital drawing tablet opened up my drawing some as I could work bigger. The new digital drawing tablet is a big improvement over the iPad, and I am getting used to new program I am using. Really happy I made the switch to the 15 inch tablet.
Digital drawing of a pair of seated female figure drawing models. Each pose was about 25 minutes long. Black colored pencil on a yellow ochre ground. I finally got the colored pencil adjusted so that I liked the overall pencil size, the values I could get with various pressures and it has a nice broad feel to it when handled on the side using the tilt.
Bought a new tablet which is 15 inches and has better resolution. Had to switch operating systems to windows so I could get the bigger screen. Also had to switch programs as procreate is unfortunately only on iOS and not on windows. The first steps are the hardest but I think I am starting to the make the transition to the new hardware and software platform. Still have to find the right brushes. These are a series of 10 to 25 minute quick sketches. When I am more used to the new digital drawing set up hopefully things will go better.
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.
