I always seem to start my posts with an excuse, but this one wasnt of my making. The room was the smallest we have ever used. The uni is very busy this year with evening seminars and the organisers are having trouble finding anything suitable. When the model sat on the floor, we had to lean over the desk to see him
I decided to go back to a good old 2B pencil for all the sketches this session in an effort to be just a little tighter….
Two 2 minute sketches
5 minutes
Two more 5 minutes
10 minutes – the model came with props, a glass in the hand…
10 minutes – yes he really did look this coy in the pose…
15 minutes, this was the one I had to lean over to view

C&C always welcome.

November 5, 2018 at 3:48 pm #719897It is real pain when there isn’t enough room particularly if you can’t stand back from your work. You did well.
Nathan.
