Figure Drawing class #3

Last night was our first night drawing with a model.

We warmed up first doing a few gestures of our professor until the model arrived. I quickly remembered how much I love gesture drawing!!

Once the model was in place, we started with several one minute poses, then progressed in 5 minutes focusing on the torso sometimes, and sometimes just the legs and feet.

One minute gesture:


Five minute:



Then at the end we did a 20 minute pose of the model in a chair. This was the hardest thing for me- I have a love/hate thing with chairs. This was the only one where I struggled with the proportions. This was my least successful drawing of the evening.

I look forward to more of this-- so good for me!!
