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.

Here is another sketch of my mum done while we were having a video call. I did one before (see sketch No.3381) that she didn’t like…at least she didn’t complain about this attempt.

Here is a sketch of my mum done while we were having a video call. I showed her this after I had finished it and she said “that’s not me…that is a little old lady”.

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.

Here is the first batch of my sketches done at the PensNBrushes life drawing session a few weeks ago. Each pose was about 2 minutes and I used some Sailor ink. The model took some pretty dynamic (and difficult) poses!

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).
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!
On the third sketch I tried out one of my Sakura Glaze gel pens. I like the way I get very luminous lines.
For the last sketch I went back to my comfort zone – using watercolour pencils, watercolour and a little ink.
