I finally made it to a short-pose life-drawing session at Gage, which I much prefer to a single long pose. The shorter poses
are better training for sketching people in real life, and the variety keeps me
from getting bored. Today’s model, Michael, in particular, was excellent at
giving us a wide range of expressive poses that I was amazed he was able to
hold. When the model is especially expressive,
I feel more motivated to make my drawings more expressive, too – to make as
much of an effort as the model did in being expressive.
As for media, this morning I was in the mood to try various
combinations of dry and wet: colored pencils and ink in a waterbrush. For the
last 20-minute pose, I used my trusty Sailor fountain pen and ink in a
waterbrush for shading.
Speaking of Gage, this Saturday is the 15th annual Drawing Jam, and I can’t wait! I’ve been looking forward to it ever since last year’s Jam!

You really did a good job on the short poses! It is more like sketching people in real life minus the clothes. lol
