After what feels like a long gap, I joined #PensNBrushes for a life drawing class on 15 March (the last session I joined was in June 2024 (see post No.89-2742-43). Here are the sketches I did of the first (male) model – I can’t say I was really satisfied with any of these. I started with a #Derwent water soluble graphite pencil (which promptly broke when I was doing my first sketch), then switched to using #WatercolourPencils and some ink. I’ve noted on each drawing how much time we had – but we started with 2 minute poses and worked our way up to 20 minutes for the last one.
