Our class has had a number of male models the last couple of weeks. Here are a few from the sessions I’ve attended:
I had some difficulties with his right arm because Brandon was naturally shifting with gravity - I couldn't quite understand the values in the shadows under his head.
A quick gesture drawing of Tyler.
I had a lot of difficulties with this pose. I started 4 drawings and eventually returned to the second attempt. I was feeling really off that night.
What an appropriate week to get back into it. With the weather being so hot, it feels good to a) be naked; and if that isn’t possible for whatever reason, b) drawing them will have to do.
Diana was so much fun to draw, full of form, folds, and flesh! This was an hour long study on cream colored 17x14 paper with an oil-based pencil. I couldn't scan the full drawing in one take.
A 20-minute sketch of Diana.
Semi-blind contour drawing of Bert.
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be participating in a figure drawing exhibit at the Rockridge Branch of the Oakland Public Library on College Avenue. The show opened May 1 and runs through the end of the month.
The Artists’ Reception will be Saturday, May 8, 3-5 PM. The Library’s address is 5366 College Ave in Oakland, phone: 510-597-5017. Hope to see you there!!
I submitted two drawings and am hoping that they’re both up. The drawings are below:
The War of Art
Truly an inspiring book that kicked my butt and made me start creating again. It inspired this website!
Drawing with Imagination
Has some great exercises to stretch your drawing skills!
The Creative Habit: Learn It & Use it for Life
More creative inspiration from a legendary dancer!
The Sierra Club Guide to Sketching in Nature
I love Cathy Johnson's nature sketches and since I love to hike, I want to draw like her.
I heart Dick Blick! I'm a kid in a candy store here!
I'm Trish Roque and this is my arty blog. My goal is to make more art and to post it here along with musings and the many lessons I no doubt will encounter.
I'm also a web designer with a fondness for WordPress, a pillow to two ornery cats, chauffeur to one hairy dog, and wife to a wonderful husband. We live and play in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you'd like to learn more about me go here or read my blog.
