Figure Drawings

I thought I would post some drawing for a change.  I recently started taking a course on drawing the figure at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, so I thought I would post some pic's here of my progress.  The class is 7 weeks long and is taught by Lisa Davie.

I thought I would start with stuff that I did before the class began so I can see improvements.

These were done over the past month or so.  I am a big fan of Stan Prokopenkos video's on figure drawing, and some of these drawings are copies of his, to help me understand his process.

These are a few 2 minute poses.


Some construction drawing


These ones are longer poses, around 15-20 minutes.  I usually focus on line and gesture rather than tone, but its something that I plan on doing more of.




This last one is a few drawings from my first class at NSCAD.  We focused on 3 minute gestures, using a "searching" line and trying to avoid drawing contour.  I had a pretty hard time with the searching line, a lot of contour still found its way into the drawings, but it was a fun class and Im looking forward to next week.
