LIfe drawing

Venue: Konstnärshuset, Stockholm 20151027

I have got to find a better way to photograph my work during the winter months. I have stopped drawing on A4 paper for the moment which means I can’t use my flat-bed scanner. It’s a bit depressing – the reproduction quality I have right now.

Otherwise, the life drawing session was pretty good, it was another male model, I draw females mostly so I always feel out of practice when it comes to men.

Action Bear!

The model’s real name is Lars but everyone calls him, Action Bear! He’s a body builder and an exhibitionist, he’s full of life and loves posing in impossible positions which no normal model could ever hold. The problem with Lars is that he’s a little over-ambitious and rarely holds the pose, this annoys some of my life drawing comrades but I just find it amusing. It’s difficult drawing a body builder when you have limited time, so many bumps and curves to deal with! I turned him into a comic character, that’s the way I dealt with capturing his body-form.

Tuesday’s life drawing

Venue: Konstnärshuset, Stocholm 20151020

I’m feeling tired tonight, just thought I’d publish these and then go to bed.
I’m drawing with an extended pencil at the moment, it means I don’t have full control which helps me not to be so focused on just one point. I’m looking from a distance and my figure drawing is improving I think.

20151014. Location: Master Olofsgården, Old Town, Stockholm.

This life drawing session was in the middle of the day. Normally I can’t go because of having to work, but now I only work 50% so suddenly I have more time to paint and draw, heaven!

Better late than never

Yeap, it’s been a few weeks since I last published. I have a good excuse though, my son was visiting, he lives in Tokyo so it was real nice spending some time with him. I plan to visit him in January, I can’t wait, I’ve never been to Japan.

Here are my life drawings dated 20151010. Location: Basis, Folkkungagatan, Stockholm

Different treatment

I held my pencil right at the end of the shaft. I kept my arm totally straight while my sketch pad was down on the floor while I sat. Interesting results I think, quite lively.
