Figure Drawing in Chalk.

Yup, I'm on a serious CHALK fix right now! This is from my figure drawing group tonight. I'm pleased with the figure, annoyed by the overworked/fussy chair + cloth! I need to learn 'less is more' in my drawings, but that will come with practice. That's the whole point, right? Flexing the brain ever so slowly :~)


Here's where the group meets: MANIFEST
I feel creative just walking in that room!

Figure Drawing at the Essex

Another figure drawing session tonight. Same gal as last time.
I feel like I'm getting the hang of it!

Figure Drawing Night!

My first time bringing a darker paper & white pencil! I enjoyed that combo.
Her head looks really small now that I am stepping back from this....

I'm Still Here!/Figure Drawing

Hey, people!
I'm sorry it's been quiet on here for soooooo long! I've been swamped with all kinds of NON-creative things, moved back up to Ohio (temporarily, to be with family) and working a *ton* of hours in addition to my freelance. I've been getting so many comments about my blog--as in, when are you going to start posting again??! We're sick of looking at cupcakes! :~o

So, here we go :~)


Tonight I went to a new figure drawing group for the first time! It was so good!
It was at Manifest in Cincinnati. Manifest Gallery
This model had a very interesting, weathered face.

More posts to come soon..... I have Etsy orders I'm finishing up, and new illustrations that I can share very soon!

More Sunday Night Drawing Class!

Another figure drawing from the Redux group; this was a 40 minute pose. ...and the model somehow fell asleep like that!
I loved that chair.

Hooray for Sunday Night Drawing Class!

Here are some sketches from tonight's figure class.

Feet!


Hands! (I'm not crazy about the face on this drawing, but liked how the hands turned out.)


Hands & feet are so hard for me to draw... I've been trying to really focus on them whenever I can.

Figure Drawing

Here are some of my sketches from my weekly figure drawing group. I'm pleased with them....but I can definitely tell that I'm very out of practice! Haven't done this since my Junior year at Kent. Yikes!
I've been going every Sunday with my cool artsy illustrator-friend Shannon, and she's inspired me to re-vamp my dusty old website! It's about time. I'll let you know when it's up & running...
