Portrait and Figure Drawing Class

My first class started today at the Fountain City Art Center. It was alot of fun. It was less intimidating than I thought it would be. Everyone was very nice and friendly. Our model didn't show up, so the instructor stepped in to model instead. It's a very open space, with a park next door, so the models are clothed...

We started off with some gestures - big and bold - 2 minutes each...in charcoal

And then moved on to longer poses - 15-30 minutes each...pencil and charcoal

    I love these! They are so lively and well drawn. Please keep them sharing with us - and for those of us that don't go to life drawing sessions perhaps you can note paper size, charcoal vs ink, type of charcoal (stick, pencil etc).
