Life Drawing 10.26.09

I haven't posted any of my life drawing in a while, so I decided to take pics of a couple that I did tonight.

I've come a long way from that first class I took down in Irvine. I'm now using materials and methods that I haven't used before and its pretty cool. I now have a collection of charcoals which I use now instead of graphite which I used to use. The instructor is also way better since he actually gives some instruction every week. He also gives some pretty good critiquing while you're working so you can improve your drawings while your working on it to produce a better result.

The top one was done in 20 minutes, and the bottom in an hour. I like the gesture better of the first, but the shading of the second.

I like how the jeans look, and I felt like I really got a sense of the colors overall. There were still some things I wasn't happy with, but oh well. This next one was also done with my finger, but now in Sketchbook Pro. It's nicer because there are new tools and menus which help with workflow, as well as a bunch of new brushes and settings, so I got to experiment with some of those. I was developing my taste in brushes on this one. I also tried doing some less realistic skin tones but still trying to maintain the integrity of the shading. I've never tried it before, but I've listened to my life drawing teacher t...
