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!

87-2705-6 – Lights…cameraman – Discover biodiversity

Here are the other sketches I did when I joined #UskManila at the #DiscoverBiodiversity event at the Gateway Mall 2 in Araneta City, celebrating International Day for Biodiversity. The cameraman was a popular subject for us sketchers (while the talks were going on several of us drew him). I found out afterwards (with the help of @nice.r.rodriguez) that the lights I drew are called Klieg Lights (named after inventor John Kliegl and his brother Anton Kliegl).

87-2704 – Isabela Oriole – Discover biodiversity

Image | | Art-Chap-Enjoin

Here is the first sketch I did when I joined #UskManila at the #DiscoverBiodiversity event at the Gateway Mall 2 in Araneta City, celebrating International Day for Biodiversity. The event was sponsored by USAID and the Gerry Roxas Foundation amongst others, and included a wildlife photo exhibition, part of which you can see in my sketch. The exhibition had these rattan decorative archways … which were adorned with green leaves made from plastic drinks bottles. According to Wikipedia the Isabela Oriole (the yellow bird in my sketch) is a species of the oriole family endemic to Luzon which was presumed to be extinct until its rediscovery in December 1993.
