100 Elephants: #3

Here's #3. 97 to go.

More Thursday Figure Drawings

So this time we had a sort of "set list", and broke everything down into short poses and long poses with a timer, going strictly by the list. I recommend this approach. It maximizes the time since less time is spent deciding what the length of the pose is going to be, or when the break is supposed to be over.

So this is a 5 minute pose:



A 20 minute pose (probably my favorite drawing of the night):



And the long pose, about an hour and a half.



I try not to waste time on drawing the chair he's sitting in or any other details in the room, just concentrating on the figure. Again this one is a little stiff, but it's got some nice tone in it.

More Figure Drawings

These are more figure drawings from the thursday figure drawing sessions at The Natsoulas Gallery. I apologize (in advance) for the bad digital photos. I need to light these better before I take them.

A 15 minute pose:



And two 10 minute poses.




There was also a long pose, but with longer poses I'm often too fussy, so you won't be seeing that one.

100 Elephants

This is one in a series of 100 elephant drawings and paintings. This will take a while. It was done with an Esterbrook 355 pen nib.
