My favourite subject in my visual arts course… something I have never been any good at, but nothing helps you to draw better than a life drawing class! Learning to really observe and make marks with your hand and eye together has been such a great journey to embark on.
I particularly love the blind contour approach where you draw without looking at your page… in every drawing there is at least one line that is better than anything else I have managed while looking at the page. Remarkable.
Life drawings are posted with the most recent last… hopefully some progression is obvious. A good life drawing teacher is solid gold… thanks, TP!
