Life Drawingz!

So I'm going to be done my portfolio by Tuesday or Wednesday this coming week. I'm starting to narrow down what life drawings I may use. I'll attend Monday's session for all three hours to get as many last-minute drawings as I can. The funny thing is I learned more about life drawing from critiques with my painting teacher than my actual life drawing teacher. Stupid, eh? Anyway... these are in order of how long they took to draw, ranging from 30 seconds to 20 minutes. Ten is sufficient to get enough information on paper. After that I get frustrated and don't know what to do with the extra time. At that point I usually use my stick of contè on my friends faces...

First Term

While sorting through and selecting some of my drawings and paintings for the critique with Hieng Tang - a third year illustration student - today, I decided I may as well photograph some of my stuff. These are from life drawing last term. I may use a couple of them in my portfolio this year.


This was meant to be a perspective study, and it's okay except for the figure obscured by the large figure on the left there. I'd probably crop off those two anyway for it to fit in my portfolio (if I use it at all).
