Drawing For Life - 2

The life drawing continues (above The Sparrowhawk, Crystal Palace) in Betty Frankenstien's Drawing Room. It took a while to get my drawing brain to wake up this time (I blame the cider at the weekend's Overground Festival) but I'm quite pleased with the eventual results. I tried to think more about the form of the model, rather than just the lines, this time. Next week, I think I might put down the pencil and use something a bit messier. I'm not that fast, and it would be nice to get to a more finished result in the times allowed for each pose.

Drawing for Life

As my artistic reboot continues apace, I picked up a pencil, headed to Crystal Palace and attended my first life drawing class for AGES.

It was called Betty Frankenstien's Drawing Room and happens once a week in a cosy room above The Sparrowhawk pub. It was the first time I'd done an untutored session: about 2 hours drawing time where you are given free rein to do what you want. A mellow vintage soundtrack accompanied the different poses, and I had a really good evening. I'm very glad I decided to take it up again. I won't let it slip, I promise!
