Drawing - Man July 2009
I've recently started drawing again, for the first time in 12 years, and I am really, really enjoying it. They organised a series of life drawing sessions for us at work and I've been attending every week.
I did this in our fourth session. The guy was an older gent, with a fabulously lined face, and a mop of unruly hair. He has these really great, grumpy expressions that I really enjoy drawing. This was a 15 minute set of sketches. I first did the one of his whole upper body, and then focused on drawing his face. There are some lining up problems on the face, and frankly the likeness wasn't all that great, but I enjoyed drawing him here.
Unfortunately I don't have a scanner at home, so this is a photo from my sketchbook. Paper, Daler Rowney soft tipped sanguine sketching pencils.
