Ready to Go Back to Drawing Sessions

New semester is about to start and it's time for me to collect myself from holiday slumber and be ready to go back to my weekend drawing sessions, which were often challenging and stimulating.  Below is a collage of my female nude drawings done during the sessions last year:

A Very Challenging Model

Last week, in our live drawing group at Cal, a very dynamic and challenging model posed for us. He was able to twist his body into intricate positions and hold still for the required length. The most exciting and challenging part was during the first ten 2-minute pose session, when he was able to challenge artists to capture the unusual and difficult to decipher positions of his limbs, hands and fingers.

It was a very exciting session though I think I produced less finished drawings than usual. But it was a most welcome challenge. Many thanks.

A New Round of Live Drawings

Even in summer, our drawing group continues to meet at University of California, Berkeley. Below are several drawings I made last weekend:

Back to the Drawing Session

After my international trip, I finally went back to the drawing session at University of California, Berkeley.

There are so many people there, that I had to settle with a spot facing the window, which was easy to see the model. A challenge I accepted without much ado.
