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

C&C always welcome.

Instagram, billwperryOctober 12, 2018 at 5:14 pm #710695I 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.

October 13, 2018 at 4:25 pm #710697Nice 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;
ChrisC&C of all sorts always welcome! (I don't mind rude or harsh criticism.)
I suppose I have to do this too (my blog, & current work). My Visual Arts Nova Scotia page.

C&C always appreciated.
