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 10 minute sketch. The perspective on his face is a bit off, and I'm not happy with the mouth area. But sadly, red pencils are not easy to erase, so I couldn't really fix it.
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.
