Drawing from Life
I received some great advice during my last post. I was given the suggestion of working from life. Since then I've drawn stricly from life. This has been a great learning experience. I've been going to a Thursday Night Sketch Group at the Cincinnati Art Club, whenever I can make it. I've also drawn some of my family members who are willing to sit still for a half hour or so. I enjoy drawing from life so much, I can't see myself drawing from photo any more. It seems rather pointless. Why copy a photo when you can be the camera.
Anyway, I want to post some of the drawings I've done. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
This first one is of my wife. It took about an hour and a half, and is done with charcoal on paper. The size is approx. 7"x8".
