Figure Drawing Practice

The following sketches have been created following a video program by Croquis Cafe who posted a series of 15 minute life drawing videos using live models. These were compiled with a series of 1 minute, 2 minute and 5 minute poses. Day 1 to 3 can be found in Part 3, Project 1, Exercise 1 of this blog.

I will be doing the following sketches in my A2 sketchbook and trying to keep to one page if possible. The 1 minute poses will be done with pencil, ink-brush pen for the 2 minute poses and finally charcoal for the final 5 minutes. By trying to keep to the same format throughout, I am hoping to document my progress and have a direct comparison to help illustrate any improvement to my technique.

Much harder today. More poses in each section but model kept moving so I had to make quick decisions on the marks i was laying down.

Happy with the 1 and 5 minute studies today but the pen sketches (2 mins) didn’t go so well and the proportions went wrong.
