Attended Life Drawing Hamilton. The model was Marie. It was my first time drawing her.
I have not attending life drawing much since my larger screen broke. It’s much harder with the smaller screen. With the next life drawing I attend I will either use my dell laptop running linux mint or get a new screen for the pi.
knee pose. head twisted to the side. beginning draw background objects.
Started at the toes and worked up. The head is cut off, but that’s ok because it’s the legs that I normally chop. Chair and heater drawn on the right.
Two standing poses. Circles and squiggles surrounding.
Two portraits. The left feels clean and simple. Redrawing and excess of lines for the right.
Sitting front pose. Head is extra long. Drawing of rail and bush behind.
Warm up poses. Portraits and stretching upwards, fingers grasped.

I made it to Life Drawing on Friday. It had been quite a few weeks since I had last attending so it was great to be there. Will not make it the next two weeks due to being out of Hamilton.
The model was Laure a French girl who I had never drawn before. It was her first time modelling for the group - but she was experienced so easy to draw.
Warm up poses. These were all similar standing poses - which is no problem as I am able to fit them onto a single page. Tried to capture the whole body - which I managed to in in a couple.
Two poses. A sitting pose and a standing pose. Her hand is leaned against a chair which made it more interesting. Started drawing the tables in the background. Model wasn’t in the usual spot - was missing a heater so moved her closer to one of the wall heaters. This was fine for me as I had forgotten one of my battery packs so has to plug into the power of the venue.
A front on sitting pose and a back pose. Back poses are often hard as there is much less detail to capture - especially if the model is curled up in a ball. I’m happy with the front pose though - captured her whole body (except for cutting off her forehead).
The sitting pose was long so I had time to create a grayscale layer. Whenever I do this it causes me to look again at the model and notice all the mistakes that the line layer had. Always important to keep looking at the model!
Color layer. I believe this is the first time I’ve done a color layer along with the usual line and rare grayscale layer at Hamilton Life Drawing. The usual saved color palette - yellow for skin, slightly more black in the yellow for darker areas of the skin. Red for the hair, and blue for the background.
These were the final three poses. I like the standing pose on the left - although she looks short. Love the large head though.
