nsfw dec 2 figure drawing

I can feel the laziness come against me in updating regularly. My grandfather isn’t doing so well after a knee surgery, back in China, so my father has gone back to go see him.
This week’s figure drawing really gave me some perspective of time. The model was the first model I drew when I first started attending this figure drawing group back when I was a junior in high school (part of the reason I even got into art school was because of this figure drawing group).  I would like to start diversifying the art I publish to this blog again, I have a slew of ballpoint pen drawings from October that I had released through my twitter. I would like to revisit some of those drawings and flesh them out to full illustrations. We’ll see how that goes.

Figure drawing from this Tuesday night. I went back to a more methodical process of drawing first then color with flats rather than straight painting. It’s a bit slower to start than straight painting, I’ve noticed, and I also am not considering overall composition in the drawing phase, I’ve realized.

(Nsfw) figure drawing, 10-28-2014

I saw the great Albert Epshteyn, my old figure drawing teacher,  on my way to figure drawing on Tuesday. He smiled when I told him that I was going to draw. The extra lighting effects I put on at the end to give it a more “finished” feel. Painted in photoshop.

Since the sessions have consistently been at 2 hours instead of 3, we opted for 2 long poses (2x 20min) and 1x 25min, after the 10 gestures.  I’ve been doing a lot of sketchbook art for #inktober but I have been posting those to twitter and facebook. I might compile them and share them here later on.
