Today was the first time I had 2 cups of coffee in one day. Today was also the first time I drew a naked male model! If only these go into my xbox 360 as achievements. Cut for you know why.
Today’s model was Fareed. He had hair like Chris Martin (in colour and style), and that kind of hair was really difficult to draw. His face was interesting too, but I wasn’t able to capture it well.
I can’t begin to describe how awesome the feel of the moleskine sketchbook is. The pages are smooth, almost gloss-like to the touch. I never felt like I needed to press hard onto the paper, and even if I did, it didn’t look like I left much impression on it. It has a price tag of $20AUD ($15.95AUD direct from the States, and an additional $3.50 for shipping per book). It would have cost RRP$30 here in art stores, which is absolutely crass for the amount of money I need to spend just to put in fugly scrawls.
Anyway, I did about 8 pages of sketches before deciding that I can’t draw any more in this sketchbook until I get more awesome. Which is totally, not awesome. You can check out the sketches by reading the full entry. Can’t just freely show nude sketches, even if they’re crap. Read the rest of this entry »
Pardon the lack of scans- my sketchbook is out of paper and it will take a while for my moleskine sketchbook to arrive.
This will be my last session to lifedrawing perhaps till Nanowrimo has passed. I will be attempting a personal feat of 50k words in a month.
The following sketches are picks; I won’t bore you with the warmup scrawls. Unlike the models before, the model, Lilianne, only held 1, 5, 10 minute poses.
Managed to persuade William to go with me to the Arthouse Hotel today and he dragged his sister along too. It was fun! I think Chuc and Paul came later, but there were seats after the intermission.
Here are some pages from my SB… which is pretty much most of it.
