Life drawing from the past few weeks

[bethany]

I have not had any life drawing opportunities for a few years, so I am very grateful that a small group has started close to me. Sunday nights have become so much more fun!
Here are a few results..

inktense blocks + waterbrush

Such fun!

 

[Sanlynn]

These are so well done. Your proportions look really well observed. How long did you have for each pose? As I remember, from many years ago, we had 5 minutes until they changed positions.

 

[Donna T]

Yes, these are very well done, Bethany! You are so lucky to have a group of like-minded artists to work with.

 

[Terri]

Great work, Bethany! I'm happy for you to get this opportunity again. Definitely time well spent!

 

[Enyaw]

Great gestural drawing and shading.

Thank you! The first one was 5 minutes and the rest were 10 minutes.

Thank you, Donna! I have really missed life drawing for sure. It really is the basis of all my other artwork.

 

[bethany]

Thanks so much, Terri and Wayne!

 

[Artyczar]

These are so excellent. I wish I had your skill. How long were these poses? They are so good. They even have a lot of voice and style.

 

[PaintBoss]

Very nice work. Fantastic you have this group!

 

[snoball]

All very well done, bethany. I'm sure they were quickly done too, given that there is never much time allotted in life drawing.

Thank you, Ayin- so kind of you! These were 5 and 10 minutes. Someone at the group said she as amazed how different everyone's drawings were even though it was the same model. I just think it's like handwriting. I can't help draw how I draw.

Thanks, Christine- I am so grateful!

Very quick, Sno! The warm-ups help (sometimes only 1 minute!) to make 10 minutes feel much longer. I would love a longer pose for sure.

 

[Grapes]

Bethany, these are excellent!

 

[bethany]

Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement!

 

[Joy]

Really well captured poses. Love the touch of color. The human figure is challenging.

 

[Hermes2020]

These are so accomplished! I truly wish I had the ability to capture the poses so convincingly.

 

[bethany]

Thanks again, Joy! I love to use colour if I can. It really is the most challenging art that I do!
I appreciate the kind words, Hermes! I have been learning and practicing for many years.
