I love to draw Murray, both for his build and his gestures. His unique way of moving creates subtle shifts between his active and passive sides that are incredibly challenging. It’s also difficult not to get seduced into drawing too much anatomical information with him too. Here are some of my efforts from the morning session, with poses of 5 min, 1 min, 10 min and 20 min.

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been to life drawing, and I was itching to get back to it. I love to draw Ben who gave us great gestures, as always.

Denis was the model on Sunday.

There are drawing days when my hand just doesn’t cooperate. What a lousy morning I had! I have posted a few sketches nonetheless. All of these are short poses (1-10 min) of the model Amanda — the 15-20 minute are now in the recycling.
The long pose this afternoon was a little better. I played around with cross-hatching, which is still rough but improving. That’s the drawing at the top, and the model was Claudette.

Here are a few drawings from last night, one of the rare Thursday nights I can attend the TSA. Michaela did a wonderful job, exerting herself mightily by holding tough poses.

I haven’t been life drawing in a while so it felt good to get out to the TSA today. Kit was the model. The top drawing is from the long pose this afternoon, and the ones below it are those from this morning.

Here are some of my drawings for today. The model was Greg. I focused on the head because it’s what I’m teaching now at Humber.
My first attempt at the long pose wasn’t successful. So here’s the sketch I did after the long break, plus a few drawings from the morning session.
