Life-Drawing October 2022
Life-drawing, 30 minute pose
I have been inconsistent with my choice of medium in recent life-drawing practice - alternating between pencils and pastels. I don’t see this as inherently negative, but it does suggest to me that I’m still undecided about what direction my life-drawing should take.
That’s fine - I just need to keep up with regular life-drawing sessions and I’ll probably end up focusing on one particular medium.
Above: 30 minute life-drawing (reclining) - graphite crayons and pencils.
Below: 30 minute life-drawing (seated) - graphite crayons and pencils,and Polychromos white pencil.
Both on A3-size Clairefontaine 250gsm Naturel coloured paper.
