    The last three sessions have all been with male models and I do find that they are more difficult to draw. There is usually much more muscle structure to deal with and its difficult to get that down in short poses. Having said that, it forces me to make the brain and hand work harder. It was this model’s first nude session and he coped very well, especially considering that 90% of the attendees were female freshers at the uni.

    2 mins – I tried to simplify these as much as possible

    I didnt get time to show he is actually sitting in this pose

    10 minutes

    15 minutes – I went a bit astray on the buttocks ;)

    25 minutes – with only top lighting it was difficult to convey the back as well as I would have liked, but I’m reasonably happy with this – apart from the shape of the left leg

        Thanks Earl, I was tempted to alter them afterwards but I prefer to post exactly what comes out of the session and just ditch the really bad stuff :)

            These are good, I really like them. You have developed a very expressive line.

            C&C always welcome.

                I like what you are doing Dave… what you expressed in the simplicity of the second, and the execution of the last one :thumbsup:

                probably the best strategy is to not be distracted by details in the quicker poses, and I find male models may have to work harder to make their poses more interesting to draw.

                Nicely done- a good range of pressure with the lines!

                Nice work and good line. I particularly like the second one, especially the abbreviation of the sitters left leg. The simplification combined with the dramatic gesture works very well. The back study is also quite good.

                Cheers;

                C&C of all sorts always welcome! (I don't mind rude or harsh criticism.)

                My favourites are the confident lines of the second drawing and the detail in the back on the last.

                Thank you Bill, Chris, Bethany, Nathan and Mac. It wasnt until I got home that I saw it had been a relatively good session, but there were a couple that I relished destroying ;)

                It was a good session! You really cut loose on these, strong confident lines.
