Life Drawing
Here is a collection of my life drawing studies. Most of these were done in 2012-2013 in school. A big thank you to all the models and my teacher Clint for allowing me to flex my observation muscle and experiment with charcoal and pencil.
Life drawing really is the lifeblood of an artist. I always preferred drawing from imagination, but the discipline of observation and study feeds that so-important library of images in your head.
When we draw from real life we look at things with a third eye. We learn to see through them and around them, we study how the light affects them, and we ask questions. Sometimes we put down black on white without knowing why.
I wish I still had access to such a treasured activity. There are resources online, but it's not the same as the real life studies.
