    It’s sad I know, but every morning the first thing I do, when I get to my little art gallery, is to log into Wet Canvas. This week Ive looked in vain for someone to post something. Where are you people ? ;)

    Here’s a sketch from yesterday, tonight its the figure group so maybe more tomorrow…

        Hey David! I’m here! I think you’re drawings are really improving. How much time did u spend on this? The hand looks a bit un-natural. Other than that, a very convincing study. Thanks for sharing. -Earl

            I really like the shading near the knee area and the shading on the lower leg to indicate how ‘pressed’ it is against the inner thigh.

            Nothing to show (in the figure group), but if a portrait sketch of Rodin is accepted here…since he is the master in figure sculpting?

                Earl, you’re right about the hand. I am working longer on my work, i was getting too sketchy. This was about 2 1/2 hours I’m guessing.

                Thanks Constance, I like that bit, and yes, post the portrait

                        I like the back view. There’s something very expressive about backs. Is this from life? The area around the hand and elbow is a bit weak, needs more definition.
                        I’ve been to the Stamford life group last week with my paints but the result was not good. I may work on it a bit and post it/paint over it.
                        I’ll post the piece I did for the last All Media challenge.

                        C&C always welcome.

                        Harry, I agree but backs are often the most difficult area to draw, especially if there’s not much shadow definition. You’re right about your crit, maybe i got bored. Wish this was from life, I only have my one hour figure group which only happens in term time. I must get my partner back to modeling. Ive commented on your latest post :)

                        I like the echo / fading around the edges of the figure David. I keep meaning to post but feel guilty that I’m not commenting on other’s works.

                            For goodness sake David put some clothes on the poor girl she looks like she is freezing to death!

                            I’m mostly doing landscapes and still lives these days and the occasional quick sketch of people who float in and then float out of my view not worth posting not enough substance.

                            Bill,

                            Youre not far wrong Bill, it was taken from a picture of a young lady on the rocks by the sea!

                            A nice study, and she does look a little cold… but lonely no more!

                                Very nice, David. I agree with what the others have said.
