Man I’m out of shape figure drawing-wise, but so glad there was a figure drawing session up in Alpharetta last night on a Tuesday! I think that day might work out better for me and hopefully I can budget out the time and funds to attend more. Lots of talented folks in this group. Great […]
Figure Drawing session @ SoundLab Music Studios in Alpharetta. Mostly 3, 5, and 10 minute poses.
Notes: Trying out a new paper stock, Strathmore Toned Tan in a 24 sheet sketchpad. 20 minutes, carbon pencil and white charcoal.

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…
Charcoal and Canson Bisque and Newsprint and the Music I like to listen to when I draw.

Notes: Atlanta Artists Center, Charcoal on Newsprint, which I think will be my main medium from now on. It’s simple and affordable, with a good texture.
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.
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]

30 min pose, Charcoal on Canson Bisque 15 min pose, warmup drawing, Charcoal on Newsprint
Notes: I was an hour late, so only managed a few quick drawings in the remaining time.
Notes: 5, 10, and 20 minute poses. These snaps are when I decide to stop a drawing, to keep from ruining it.
I’m so out of shape figure drawing wise, but here are some quick drawings from this past weekend. Been placing the figures all on one sheet to save paper and money :(. Like most sessions they usually start out with quick 2 minute warm up drawings and end up with 20 minute poses. Wish I had more time […]
Kate 1 (20 minute figure study) 18×24″ Charcoal on Canson Figure drawing from life is a nice change from the way I’m currently creating art, and it’s definitely different from my photography. Walk into any event featuring photographers, and you’ll have others asking you what camera or lens you use, perhaps trying to find a correlation between gear and […]
