Warming up for the day

eeuuccch

Quick sketch with some slapdash colour, made a bad mistake and watched the expendables, and curse my eyes for seeing the suit of veins that mr stallone wears in that.

Life drawings

some very quick gesture drawings-been away from regular life drawing so pretty rusty still.

Warming up is hard to do!

some random warmups-i like to draw for an hour, sometimes even a half hour-just scribbling or messing about before i start any real work-helps to loosen up before you do the important stuff

back to square one

well finally back at life drawing again-gotten oh so rusty. Here are my very first sketches back-usually a minute pose to begin-i went 30 seconds on these to see if i could get down the essence of the pose as quicky as possible. Hopefully i get back into the swing of things more next week.
