Live sketching again

I convinced my wife to come with me to Art Caravan in BGC for this figure sketching session. The model was Mia Aquino  – she was a good model and it was a nice session. We even got some freebies from Art Caravan (pencils and a sketch pad).

Too skeletal

I used an Ulson pencil (5B), given by Art Caravan as a freebie (along with a sketch-pad), for the second sketch. She looks a bit too skeletal I think!

Bright gel pens

On the third sketch I tried out one of my Sakura Glaze gel pens. I like the way I get very luminous lines.

Not pregnant

For the last sketch I went back to my comfort zone – using watercolour pencils, watercolour and a little ink.

Live sketching

At the end of November I joined a different life drawing group in Cubao. Each of the first two poses was 30 minutes then we had 45 minutes for each of the last two. I had to leave a bit early to get home for a video call with my mum on her birthday, so the last one was a bit rushed. I think the third drawing was the most successful…even if her head does seem a bit too small!
