| 4/10/18 2-min. poses |
Spring
quarter’s life-drawing sessions began a little rough around the edges. For starters,
our monitor never showed. Fortunately, one of the participants is an
experienced monitor, so he volunteered to do the job. Our model, however,
seemed less experienced; let’s just say his repertoire of poses lacked variety.
While
I’m complaining, I’ll tell you about a couple of the other participants. One habitually
arrives late, then spends a good half-hour sharpening and sanding his charcoal
and Conte crayons with much noise and fuss. Another had a respiratory issue
that left the rest of us glancing at him periodically to make sure he wasn’t collapsing.

Luckily
for me, I’m so used to ignoring distractions while sketching on location that I
did my best to tune it all out. As for the inexperienced model, I think his
best pose was the one he didn’t know he was making: I caught him checking his
messages during his break.

Funny how his best pose was when he wasn't posing. lol I like that one best too.
ReplyDeleteThe spontaneity (and risk of being caught!) made his non-pose more fun, too!
DeleteHis pose of non-posing was indeed the best. Nice catch!
