Keeping warming up my hand in the life drawing studio. This week (05.10.) the model had some fantastic dynamic poses which was lovely to practice on. I kept using different materials to draw with but the dominating material this time was markers.
We did the same with timing, aiming from 30 seconds up to 2 minutes per pose. I’ve noticed depending on how long the pose is, I use a specific drawing material. If there are quicker poses, I do those best with either charcoal or a marker, those dark, bold materials help me capture those poses the best. Where I have more time on drawing, I either use a pen or a pencil for longer poses – with those materials I have more time to be precise.
