Nine inch form drawing from life

[Jesse C. Draper]

Thank you Garth,

I love your work and have enjoyed reading your posts.

This was drawn in 5 one hour and half sessions at the Carl Bloch Academy taught by Patrick Devonas.

I'm including one of Patrick's conte' studies (I hope he doesn't mind).

This might give you some idea what I'm shooting for.


The drawing at the beginning of the post is the first such drawing that I've attempted. Patrick suggests doing hundreds of nine inch figures drawings from life in a similar manner.
I can only imagine how beneficial this will be to me, seeing as I already feel that I have benifited much from this one exercise alone.
