Tuesday’s model

Venue: Konstnärshuset, Stockholm. 20150203

We had a wonderful model this week which was a real treat. She held a very elegant pose, time after time. The session was quite inspiring.

I have not much to say about these illustrations. A picture speaks for itself anyway, so I’ll just sign off now and get back to my drawing-board.

Playing around

This female nude was incomplete until I got my fingers dirty with charcoal dust and finished the contours of her body.

Ups and downs, that’s the way my abilities go when capturing a model’s pose.

I’ve had this model several times before, I’ve always struggled to catch her beauty and elegant ballerina posturing. It’s strange because she is quite pretty. I guess it’s like dating, sometimes there’s magic and on other occasions there is nothing at all. Does that make sense?

First life drawings of 2015

Venue: Konstnärshuset, Stockholm, 20150113.

It was nice to start life drawing again. I felt a bit rusty. The model, who is very good, made endless difficult poses for us. After a while I started to relax and enjoy myself. I used charcoal dust, my hero calligraphy pen and my trusty 0.7 Pentel mechanical pencil with 2b lead.

I could do some nudes at Basis here in Stockholm this Saturday but I just have to focus on the Christmas monster that I have been ignoring. Presents have to be bought and cards have to be sent, you know the drill. Looking forward to next year’s life drawing already.

Saturday’s life drawing

Finding it hard getting enthusiastic about my life drawing this week, I should take a break maybe. No, I’ll carry on anyway, in the long run I know I’m improving with all this practice, one sketch at a time, one sketch at a time…

I was tired and found it hard to get into the groove. The model, who was young and pretty did not inspire me, no dynamics, she lacked energy in her posing. I can’t blame her, it was I who was at fault, I just wasn’t in the mood. Managed a few half decent sketches all the same.

I had the same male model as a few weeks previous so I was quicker at picking up the curves and muscle tones etc. I feel pretty comfortable with my life drawing these days, its a nice feeling. Now all I got to do is get the same sensation while I watercolour!
