These are the only OK-ish results from today's life drawing class.
We had two live models, who constantly circulated the room (making it very hard to capture the full picture).
Deciding to attempt something new I used only ink, and the wrong end of my paint brush (so it was like using a stick) to quickly draw the outlines of the female model.
I worked on A3 too in an attempt to make my drawings bigger.
They're not incredibly realistic but I tried to capture the model as a fashion illustrator, taking care to capture the movement and pattern of the clothes.
My teacher didn't seem too impressed by my attempts, but the class has given me more confidence in drawing with ink and I'm going to try to do images for the project using just this.
I think I confine myself by having to draw everything in pencil first, working like this just straight out in ink made it harder at first - a mistake can't be changed- but as I became more confident with my strokes I found that it became so much easier AND quicker as there was no room for errors.
