1--29-2013 drawing 3

This was the last, longest pose and it may be difficult to see on your monitor, but there is some fun things going on with scumbling of color over color on treated paper, which creates not only some interesting texture, but also some dimension.

Not a perfectly proportioned figure but interesting.

This one is on unprepared, slick drawing paper, 20-25 minutes, just trying simplify a rather exaggerated pose.

January 29, 2013 CAM Life Drawing

I definitely find that I need to establish an intention to accomplish "something" when I draw - and I'm thinking that applies to "everything" really. While I think these drawings are not finished products by any stretch of the imagination - there are some things about them that I can continue on with at the next sessions, so I'll have to review them beforehand to see where it goes, hopefully.

Drawings from January part 2

Drawings from 2 weeks of January

I have not been as happy with my work these last few weeks, and I'm thinking it may be because I have not set an intention. It seems to me that I do better when I establish a plan, goal or target for the evening, rather than just let it happen. So I'm going to try to do that with more deliberation than I have lately and see if that helps. So here are 2 of 4  of the latest in order of execution.

2nd drawing of 2013

This reminds me of something - some artist I have studied - but I can't remember who . . .

The first drawing night of the 2013

Used pastels on gessoed paper. A bit stiff, my hand-eye coordination is OFF!
