Sketchbook page

Trying to figure out tumblr right now - so here's a page from one of my monthly sketchbooks. Some life drawing from a bus journey.

Here's some life drawing from May 

Aimed to "fit" the pose within the boundary of the page itself

Again, used the page edge to add to the pose.

Life Drawing

Here's some life drawing from April 16th. This was another session where at the end I returned to  blind drawings. I added some blocking later in photoshop.

 

The return to blind drawing for the rest of the session.

 I am really happy with the last 2. This was the first time I ever drew using my left hand and I think they really worked.

Exploring the torso and back.

Particularly happy with this.

Life drawing

Here's some life drawing from the start of april. Exploring internal construction. It resulted in a return to blind drawing for me. Probably one of my favourite drawing techniques.

Started with some abstract shape gestures

Moved to graphite, build up from the center
