Tuesday’s Perspective Study

Friday, April 16th, 2010 | Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

Another newsprint drawing out of class. Today the junk was stacked vertically, in order to force the students to practice perspective. Above, below, and side-to-side. To me, it doesn’t look like much to show for two hours of drawing and measuring.

Disorganized Space

Another day in the drawing class. Today I was working on conveying depth, mostly by muddling and erasing lines farther in the background. I’m not sure how well it worked out, but I like the overall effect.

Piscesque

This is some sort of deep-sea fantasy creature that I’ve been doodling on-and-off for the past few days.

Quicker Kitchen Study

A friend was working in the kitchen—creating some cilantro sauce in the blender—and consented to my doing some pencil drawing of the proceedings.

Drawing Class

We were drawing cubes. I was drawing us. Well, really the whole room. At any rate, the focus for the day was exploration of negative shape and (of course) proportion.

Kitchen Interiors: A Return to Life Drawing

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010 | Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

So I’ll be starting a new series of life drawings, focusing on the interior of my kitchen. It may not seem like the most exciting subject, but it’s one that I’m looking forward to exploring in depth. What you should expect: At least 50 drawings over the next 3 months. Stay tuned!

Walking Mule Sketch

Saturday, March 20th, 2010 | Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing | No Comments

This is a drawing I made of one of the mules while she was being worked in the arena. I’m getting a bit better at drawing moving animals, but my general grasp of equine anatomy is pretty poor. This is one of the same mules featured in Sola’s website—there are a number of photos there, particularly in the articles section. My mule looks rather cartoony, and the legs are longer in the front than I’d hope; the proportions are bizarre. Getting better, though!
