Last post of life drawing for a while. This was one of the 30 minute poses and for a change I put in some of the background.

#432 – Life drawing
A longer pose – both models were ballet dancers. Very slim and good at holding poses.

#431 – Life drawing
This pose was for more than 5 minutes I think. I am using cheap ‘craft’ paper to draw on in these…I find it works well for quick poses.
#430 – Life drawing
More from life drawing classes – another 5 minute sketch.

#429 – Life drawing
Finally getting round to posting some of the life drawings I did last weekend. This first one was a 5 minute sketch. Others were for longer – up to 30 minutes – this was the one I was most pleased with though.

#427 – Life drawing/urban sketch
This is the last drawing I did at the LifeDrawingSetup classes last Saturday (I’ll post some of the life drawings themselves when I’ve taken pictures of them). By this point in the evening I’d run out of energy (having travelled from Ho Chi Minh that morning) and I couldn’t see the model very well either – so I just doodled this for fun. It gives you and idea of how popular the classes are – and how crowded!

#395 – Chinatown arch
This is the last sketch I did last Saturday. This is apparently the world’s largest Chinatown arch – inaugurated in 2015. It’s pretty spectacular and very colourful and complicated – I only managed to capture a bit of it.

#394 – Smelly river
This view is of what I think is MacArthur Bridge, over the Pasig River. Unfortunately the river really pongs, so after a few minutes we moved on, as the smell was a bit overpowering. I finished this off today with a few ink lines from my trust UniPin pen which I find will draw on anything. I used a water-soluble graphite pencil to do the initial drawing.

#393 – Church window
Today I am posting my last three sketches from my sketch-walk with ‘TheLifeDrawingSetup’ group last Saturday. This is stained glass window in Sta. Cruz Church, that overlooks the plaza – and a group of little stands selling drinks and snacks. I didn’t have time to finish this on site and added most of the colour at home from a photo.
