One Minute Poses 18x24 charcoal, copyright 2010
It has been nearly 15 years (when I was in college) since I've done any figure drawing from a live model, so when the Preble County Art Center began offering Life Drawing I jumped at the chance. Figure drawing was one of my favorite art classes and I've missed it, especially since it is rather difficult to draw one's own back!
I've gone twice now, and have made a few discoveries. First, I am quite rusty and can definitely use the practice. Second, I need to pay more attention to proportions - the heads tended to get too small. Third, I really need to work on hands and feet - these are even more difficult for me than faces.
On my Facebook page I've made an album of the drawings and plan on adding a couple of pieces each time I go to see how much progress has been made. It should be an excellent opportunity to gain some experience.
