Life Drawing

priya — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 17:57:15 +0000

Yesterday, I went to my first life drawing class, which is exactly what it sounds like, unless you’re Matt Loy, in which case you should look it up on Wikipedia before you go asking your coworkers/higher-ups about it. Anyway, the class was hosted by my ex-boss/internship advisor, Craig Yoe. I got a copy of his latest book, Secret Identity, which chronicles the dark life of Superman’s co-creator, Joe Shuster. I’ll have more info about that in a future blog post.

In the meantime, here are the sketches I did last night. I think they turned out okay, considering this was my first attempt at drawing from a live model. The most difficult part is knowing where to begin, since it’s not just a picture that you can stare at for hours. The poses were between ten and 20 minutes long. The sketches are done in 2B pencil/sidewalk chalk on watercolor paper (the texture makes errors look less severe). Luke, the illustrator at Yoe! Studio, suggested trying vine charcoal next time, which makes a huge mess, but is great for practicing line work and form.

Surely this is the only reasonable explanation.

You know what would actually get me to vote Republican? McCain in a pantsuit.

The Tragic Tale of Stretch Armstrong

Many of us remember the nineties as simpler times, Medieval Times, and times without fast internet. It was, simply put, torture.

Schrodinger’s Nominee

According to quantum mechanics and Hillary supporters, this is an equally likely scenario.

But since I’m pretty sure Obama will accept the nomination, I’ve been working on a caricature of him.
