Posts of drawings from life drawing group, discussions of ways to improve drawings, use of different tools, media, etc.
Welcome
This is about improving our drawing experiences, and hopefully have something to build on and expand our critiques. If you have a drawing you want to talk about, you should be able to post pictures and comments. If you have difficulty, just email me! Should be fun! Thanks!

Not a great drawing, but if you could see it in person, the pastels becomes almost creamy in texture on this paper and it creates a painterly effect - something I will work with in future. It's funny, for every artist there is a unique way to work with this medium (as it is every medium I guess), but standards and rules are more typically followed. I always kind of assumed that papers designed for pastels - many of them have a gritty surface to provide tooth for the pastel to hold onto - would be best for the pastel. But I so like this creamy texture, and so far have not lost much pastel! More to be discovered!
