Finally I have finished posting all my sketches from our holiday. This is the first sketch I did when we got back home and spent a good long week adjusting to the different time zone… in more ways than one. Having busted my watch in Kotor I am back to using my old analogue Pulsar watch!

Here is the second batch of sketches I did with Kyusi Sunday Sketchers a few weeks ago. These are of the second model who’s name was Luke. As before each pose was for 3-8 minutes – plus a one minute pose done using my non-dominant hand. I used a mixture of ink and watercolour pencils.

Here is the first batch of life drawings I did with Kyusi Sunday Sketchers a few weeks ago. These are of the first model who’s name was Will. He used a bow and arrow as a prop, but most of the time I ignored it in my sketches. Each pose was for 3-8 minutes – plus a one minute pose done using your non-dominant hand (left for me). I used a mixture of ink and watercolour pencils.

Here is another sketch of my mum done during our regular video call. She started off a bit “droopy” but was much more animated by the time the call ended. I started this with watercolour pencils…which feel less permanent and looser (which is good as I am a bit tentative when sketching faces) – and then added some touches of some new blue Sailor ink afterwards.

Here are the figure drawings I did with Kyusi Sunday Sketchers a few weeks ago. According to Google Pagsibol means sprouting, germination, growth, blooming, or emergence…I guess it’s been a while since the group had a session!? I sketched using ink and watercolour as usual.
The group had arranged for some guidance from Joji Vidal (@jojividalart) and he gave us some detailed instructions on proportions. I drew him and one of the other sketchers while he talked.

Finally, here are the last of my sketches done at the PensNBrushes life drawing session back in January. These poses are a mix of the male and female model, in 10, 15 and 20 minute poses, including couples poses. I did these using a mix of watercolour, watercolour pencil and ink.

Here are yet more sketches done at the PensNBrushes life drawing session back in January. These are of the female model (sorry I didn’t get her name and although I saw her account on Instagram, I have now lost it!). Each of these poses was for 5 minutes and I used Noodlers ink and watercolour pencils.

Here are my first sketches of the female model done at the PensNBrushes life drawing session a few weeks ago. Each pose was about 2 minutes and I used a mixture of Sailor and Noodlers ink.

Here are some more of my sketches done at the PensNBrushes life drawing session a few weeks ago. The first two of these poses were 5 minutes and the last one 10 minutes – again the model took some pretty dynamic poses! For these I used a mixture of ink and Derwent watercolour pencils.
