Epic drawing day

Today was a full on day of life drawing! we began with a morning session run by Stuart where we looked at the line of action in a pose and used this in our initial quick sketches.
We then went on to look at light and dark, using charcoal and chalk to produce more tonal drawings. The full selection can be found on Flickr.

                



Below is from a 20 minute pose this afternoon, which I really liked the outcome of, although I could of done with working on the chair a bit more.


 The last hour I was really in my element as Laura provided us with poster paints and cardboard sticks to use as brushes. I love using different mediums and getting the chance to be experimental, especially with life drawing as I had never used paint before. I was really pleased with how it  turned out, it was great to not over analyse what i was doing and to just have fun with it. I think in the next few weeks I will definitely be bringing in more exciting materials to work with in life drawing
