Another week another model. And boy oh boy - this one ROCKED!

My favourite so far. She had grace, poise and confidence. And look at that body! I'm going to frame this one, and try and work it into a painting.

Last night's Life-Drawing. A fab round lady - stunning tomato red hair

Two 3 minute poses. Trying thin spindly willow charcoal along with my usual soft fat stuff, and I liked the change in style it gave me. I LOVED this model, would have her as my muse! She connected with us, smiled, struck some amazing balletic poses. Just a generous woman with this full on died hot red hair. A great night, topped off with Project Runway and a wine when I got home...perfect ;-)

a little job

I'm working on a wee animated fruit at the moment. Just sketching some ideas. Hard to keep the overall oval shape which still have some features! I hope they like it...

Week 3 life drawing, loving it! Really enjoyed this model.

    I'm going to have to re-name my blog at this rate ;-)

Hand, foot and mouth...

Poor Millie is sick today. It races through the gang like wildfire, little blisters and feeling rough.

But she's still such a sweetie.

Week 2 lifedrawing

Hot damned hot! The charcoal slid off the page and all over my sweaty little face. 

Here are my best three - though still not good enough!

Time to get my hands dirty again

Now my animation contract has prematurely come to an end, (and because it just takes too darned long to animate just for the sake of it) I am throwing myself back into a recently ignored love of mine, life-drawing. First night at the Devonport group was last week. Our model Fred is a fabulous looking dude, but I must admit I much prefer big boobie ladies and I hope that's what I get this week! I was rusty and too self aware to be much good, but I don't mind this one for a quick n dirty practice. More to follow as the weeks pass, and hopefully some translated into oils x
