rosemary, heaven restores you in life

Charcoal Pencil on Stonehenge Paper Notes: I’ve always taken these art progression photos from the seated position that I draw from. That produces an image with a skewed perspective, but I’ve never liked the bird’s eye view type of shot for drawings. I might as well throw it on the scanner for that. Like most […]

Figure Drawing – 12-14 – Atlanta Artists Center

Notes: Got to class late, and my first drawings were pretty much junk. A lot on my mind, and the holidays don’t make things better. ‘Tis the season…

The Scientist

“…Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry, You don’t know how lovely you are…”

Figure Drawing – 5-18-11 – Atlanta Artists Center

Notes: Atlanta Artists Center. Charcoal on newsprint. Male model reminded me of Perseus from Greek mythology. As for the drawings, like a ballplayer, I had an off night tonight, maybe going something like 2 for 4, had other things on my mind.

Figure Drawing – 4-20-11 – Atlanta Artists Center

Notes: Some quick sketches from tonight’s figure drawing session. Not really a class, but just time to sit and draw, reevaluate where you are in life. I don’t know how to do PHP coding, I don’t know marketing strategies, I don’t know a bunch of things that you can put down on a fake resume. […]

Figure Drawing – 1-5-11 – Atlanta Artists Center

Notes: Some quick drawings from tonight. I actually prefer drawing from male models. Reason there hasn’t been hardly any postings featuring them is because every single session I’ve been to has had female models. Harsh lighting on the male physique works better. Even if the form isn’t as physically fit as an athlete, you will usually […]

Figure Drawing – 11-10-10 – Atlanta Artists Center

Notes: Charcoal on Canson Ingres. 40min. I’m rusty, haven’t drawn from life in a while. Most of my figure drawings I still do while sitting on the floor and peering up at the model on an elevated stand. This can create some difficult angles to render, but the advantage is that you can be mobile, while everyone […]

Art in Progress: Sally 2

…charcoal on stonehenge paper…as always this particular style gives me time to process in my head other things besides the drawing itself…there’s this famous painting with a caption “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” (This is not a pipe)…sometimes painting is not to affirm anything…it just is…
