Drawing Fun

Whether from life or from photographs, drawing is a fun and helpful way to sharpen the artistic and observational skills. It is also helpful when you begin the early stages of a painting and you must "draw with the brush" as they say.

Below is my little studio setup as I draw one of my many busts.

As you can see, I customized my big drawing table with a handy shelf to hold my busts on the left side. Oh the many uses of foam core!

Other than drawing busts, it is also fun and challenging to draw the figure from a live model. Recently I have started to attend a Wednesday night drawing session. Sometimes the model is nude, sometimes costumed.

Below are a few of my drawings from recent weeks of our costumed model, Laura.
