The Week in Figure Drawings: July 2015
http://thomasdraws.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
The Week in Figure Drawings. Friday, July 31, 2015. Entry for July 23, 2015. On the Thursday night, Tanya was at the TSA. This is a 2.5 hour study, done with India ink and oil-based pencil on an 18 x 24" sheet of Revere rag paper. The combination of fluid and dry media seems to work well for me, especially on a finer-toothed surface. Anatomy and Figure Drawing:.

The Week in Figure Drawings: May 2015
http://thomasdraws.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
The Week in Figure Drawings. Sunday, May 31, 2015. 2nd entry for May 10, 2015. These are all india ink washes and graphite pencil on 18 x 24" sheets of Canson XL Series watercolour paper. I'm starting to feel at home enough with the medium that I feel more comfortable loosening the reins more. These aren't the strongest studies (I'm a little rusty these days,) but they were a good stretch. Links to this post. Thursday, May 28, 2015. 1st entry for May 10, 2015. Links to this post. Entry for May 9, 2015.

The Week in Figure Drawings. Friday, August 7, 2015. 2nd entry for Aug 2, 2015. An idea that interests me currently is what is the least amount of pencil sketch that would support a line drawing the most, and eat the least time in the bargain. Drawing things twice over is redundant; what is the most organic effective shorthand for me? What info do I absolutely need, and what can I fill in with a more detailed line?

The Week in Figure Drawings. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. 2nd entry for Aug 6, 2015. These are a further 5-minute and some 10-minute studies. The bottom one was 15 minutes, I think.

The Week in Figure Drawings. Sunday, August 9, 2015. 1st entry for Aug 5, 2015. On the Wednesday night I got out to the Gladstone Hotel drawing session.

There were a number of other short studies, but none worth sharing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Toronto, ON, Canada. View my complete profile. 1st en...
