A couple of worthy pics for this week, a new model called Liz (new for our class anyway!).

Here’s a couple of basic pencil sketches from last weeks class that I didn’t get around to capturing until now. I didn’t bother doing a full colour this time.

Two older pieces that I forgot to convert until now.
The guy is Alex, and the girl is Jo, who I’ve drawn before.

This is an older piece I found and scanned in, it’s of an old college friend Jane. It was an experiment to try to be looser and focus less on the details, so it was done with chalk on black paper (have you tried adding tiny details with chalk?! ). I like how it turned out looking like a crazy photo-shopped speed-paint so I thought I’d share it.

Here’s this weeks piece, it’s Adele yet again , could you tell?

Here’s a piece from last week (23rd), I didn’t get a chance to post it earlier…

Life Drawing Classes are back on! yay! Here’s the one piece worth posting from this weeks class.

Our life drawing classes still haven’t resumed so I’ve decided to keep practicing by trying to draw from photos while I wait. I don’t much care for Lily Allen to be honest but I have to admit she can look kinda cute.

This one took about 70 minutes all told and I had the shittest set of coloured pencils I’ve ever found lying around. they were so poor they wouldn’t draw over existing pencil marks unless I scrubbed and scrubbed. The black pencil was about as dark as a normal HB pencil so I had to find a black wax crayon to scribble in the hair and a black magic marker to fill in the eyes. I’ve also had to massively adjust the levels in photoshop so you can even see the pencils! Still, I think it is recognizable as her, so I’m happy enough with the end result.

here’s a couple of new portraits.

Here’s a new one, just the one this time… I did a couple of others but they’re not really worth posting…
