Old work: Figure Drawing

While I was digging around in my portfolio today, I found some old pen and ink work from my figure drawing class last semester that I never got around to posting. So here it is! (Better late than never!) Also my scanner cut off some of the images so that's why there are some missing limbs!

I think this last one turned out pretty solid, I don't know why but it's much easier to draw people from the back, less detail?

Portraits and Pen and Ink

Here is some more work from my Figure Drawing class.  Last week we were focusing on the face and made a couple of portraits of the model, which was a good exercise because I haven't drawn faces (or at least not in great detail) for a long time!!!

We were then assigned to make a self-portrait of ourselves using dramatic lighting and wearing a hat, scarf, or just something different than what we normally wear, so here is me wearing a big floppy hat, looking silly but stylish (yeah you know you want this hat!)

And finally we began to work with ink this week which is fun yet frustrating, because it's a new material that I haven't worked with much and so I am super slow at getting things down on paper! 

More to come later...

Life Drawings

I had posted some life drawings here a few months ago where I was referencing from slides from a figure/gesture drawing site, however now that I am taking an actual course, I feel like I have improved so much since then (when I didn't really know what I was doing). I really enjoy the class, and I hope to post more life drawings soon!
But for now here is some of my class work thus far (go easy on me I'm still a beginner :P)

hand studies

More to come!
