Life Drawing Class

It's life drawing season again and our first assignment was a simple pose in plain line drawing and three sessions. For the first time I finished 10 minutes early with no rush. Next, we go into value drawing again and there will be no more finishing early.

This week's drawing – 4 h
I started a life drawing class last September. I hadn't drawn anything longer than 15 minute croquis poses for 15 years, and definitely nothing larger than an A3. So, there was quite a bit of initial shock when I realized how bad I was at large scale charcoal drawing. Improvement has been slow but steady and I'm getting a feel for it now.
My starting level in September – 2 h
