97-2932-3 – Sisters again

Chryzzel and Haia

Here are the last two sketches done when I joined the last #LifeDrawing session of 2024 with Eric David and the #SilawArtistCollective. In these both sisters Chryzzel (@chryzzelle) and Haia posed again. The two sketches are done with ink and watercolour, plus a few highlights and emphasis done with a white posca and a UniBall pen. The first of these is the one I was most satisfied with… I think I got their faces right, even if they look a bit too dark.

97-2930 – Goggles

Here is my first sketch from when I joined the last #LifeDrawing session of 2024 with Eric David and the #SilawArtistCollective. As before each pose was 15-20 minutes…usually with some time added. For this first one I stuck with ink and watercolour. The models name is Chryzzel (@chryzzelle)…unfortunately my sketch gave her panda eyes, which was not the case at all in real life.

96-2904-5 – Orange chair shadows

Orange chair

Here are the last two sketches I did with Eric David and the #SilawArtistCollective, the other day. Like the others, these were meant to be just 15 minute poses, but I think we went over that time. As before the model was @liza_paxley.

96-2903 – Boots

This is the second sketch I did with with Eric David and the #SilawArtistCollective, the other day. I think this is the one I was most satisfied with – I think the more splashy style (much more like the paintings I did when I was at University), was boosted by the (rather strong) gin cocktail that we were very kindly given! I am pretty sure we went over our 15 minute time for this pose…but the model (@liza_paxley) was very patient and stayed nice and still.

96-2902 – Allyza

Here is my first sketch from the #LifeDrawing session with Eric David and the #SilawArtistCollective, in Eastwood, that I joined the other day. Each pose was about 15 minutes and I used ink, a UniBall Pen, #WatercolourPencils and #Watercolour paints. I was a bit late arriving so this first one was a bit rushed. The models name was Allyza (@liza_paxley). I’ll probably post a few of these quickly, one after the other, as I have a backlog of sketches to post!

90-2776-7 – Life drawing and Dredheart

Life drawing

Here are the other sketches I did at the #LifeDrawing session with the #SilawArtistCollective, in Eastwood, the other day. Each pose was about 20-25 minutes and I used ink, #WatercolourPencils and #Watercolour paints. The first of these was a bit of a disaster…I struggled with the face…and the proportions. But the last one was the one I was most satisfied with – it helped that the pose was compact and uncomplicated.

90-2773-5 – Life drawing with Eric David and Dredheart Fermil

Life drawing with Eric David

Here are my first few sketches from the #LifeDrawing session with the #SilawArtistCollective, in Eastwood, that I joined the other day. Each pose was about 20-25 minutes and I used ink, #WatercolourPencils and #Watercolour paints. I was a bit late so my first attempt was a bit rushed. The models name was Dredheart…what an unusual and interesting name! I was really only satisfied with the third one in this batch.

89-2742-43 – Couples poses

Here are the last of my sketches from the #PensNBrushes life drawing session a few weekends ago. As I often find to be the case, after several hours of intense drawing and painting (including all the sketches of 2, 5 and 10 minute poses, that I posted earlier), I was only really satisfied with the last one I did!
