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.

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.
