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!

Pretzel Boy

What a challenge! This fellow is REALLY FLEXIBLE and I love a challenge - still looking at it and believe there is some distortion (ha!ha!) in scaling but it is so hard to nail it down. He teaches yoga.

We had the opportunity to work with 2 different models last night and it was fun and sorta shook things up a tiny bit. Both models are exceptional so it was no problem. I worked the same way with the graphite first. The next picture will tell you why I decided I just better stick with the graphite (pun!)  for that one.

She seemed to glow, and I changed the way I work a little bit. I sketched in graphite first and got it as accurate as I could muster, then filled in the color - kind of like you would do with watercolor ( or any paint I guess).

A perfect time for a Mother's Day image - she was great, and deserved a rest!  :-)

I used so much pthalo blue and diarylide yellow that she looked absintheian so I added a little pink to relieve so much green!
