Life-Drawing Sketches

Hey peeps, 

I attended a life-drawing session in a lovely little cafe last week, my first in a long time, and it was wonderful. 

I thought I'd share the drawings with you!

The session was 2 hours long, and we started with a few 5min poses.

I felt hella rusty XD

You can even see me warm up as the sketches progress, haha. I was starting to hit my stride by the third drawing (on the right above)

Next were a few 10min poses :

We had a 15min break and then jumped into 15min poses :

(The below sketch is my favourite)

And we finished with a 20 min pose :

The model was fantastic, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly (with a great music selection).

The cafe also doubles as a gallery and displays different artists every month, so I'm considering exhibiting there some day maybe? We'll see. 

In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed these little drawings from life, and I hope to be able to share more with you in the future. 

I hope you are all well,

Unfortunately I haven't been able to join any yet. I only found out about these sessions 2-3 weeks ago and there has been just one session since- on a day I wasn't able to join. I might join the next one, but I don't know the theme. It was some kind of game I think? So I'm a bit hesitant.

Awww i love life drawing! These are gorgeous 😍 xx

Oh I love that!! I love themed life drawing, I wish there were more around where I am. Have you joined any yet?

Thanks Sydney! What I use varies, but in these, I mostly used my Derwent Drawing pencils. I like to start off with a light coloured pencils, and then switch to a darker colour once I am happy with my base sketch. I don't erase a lot when I do life-drawing studies, so using a darker colour on top of a lighter colour allows me to correct anything I feel is off. I do also like the dual colour :)

This is amazing! I love the last two sketches a lot, they feel so serene. I recently discovered there are monthly live drawing sessions in my town too, but they're movie/series/games themed, so it kinda depends on the months theme if I'll join or not. I really do want to do so!

These are beautiful! When you are sketching do you like to start with graphite and then add the color (looks like conte?)? It makes these drawings look gorgeous!
