Life-Drawing Classes and Portrait Practice

Week 3

Week 2

Week 1

I've been attending a life-drawing class one evening a week for four weeks now, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.  I'm forcing myself out of my comfort zone of illustrating birds and tea, and drawing new subjects, using new mediums on sheets of paper way bigger than I'm used to!

I'm very interested in portraiture, so whenever the model takes a seated pose, I use the opportunity to move in closer on a bench easel, and focus on the face.

In between classes I've also been practicing portraits from photographs found on the internet.  I've posted a few of these sketches below.
