After an extended break, I did two periods of life drawing. One on-line and the opposite in particular person. Zoom Life Drawing took off throughout Covid and is a kind of issues that has stayed as a result of it has a lot to supply. I wrote this piece about it for Wired Journal just a few years in the past.

Listed here are some sketches from the Zoom Session. The mannequin performed with the exaggerated perspective that the digital camera presents and I attempted to let that present in my sketches.

The items under are a subset of my sketches from a Drawing Marathon held by the Bay Space Fashions Guild. Nothing compares to those fabulous periods: the fashions are wonderful, there are such a lot of of them posing in a single room, there are lengthy poses and brief ones, fashions posing in pairs and alone, and simply such nice vitality within the room.

One of many issues I need to do extra of subsequent 12 months is life drawing. I don’t make a decision checklist for the 12 months, however I do spend a little bit of time trying again at what my 12 months was, ahead to subsequent 12 months and serious about what I’d like so as to add in or take away from my 12 months, what I’d love to do extra of or much less of. As a result of simply including in “stuff I need to do” with out taking something away isn’t reasonable.

I’ll speak a bit of bit about my 2023, the 12 months forward and my artwork objectives for it on this Zoom session you’re all invited to. Save the date, particulars under
