Figure studies / Risky Bidness

 I got the chance to get into
some figure drawing sessions here:

I'm pretty stoked to get back into
live modeling sessions. The process
is great and i get to exercise gestural
drawing. I always get some interesting
results from.

I haven't drawn from a live model since
my university academic career. which is
part of my Fine Art section of my portfolio:

started off with some quick

5 minute poses:

The model was very dynamic.

it's great to work with a model who moves around

and uses the space creatively. 

Feet have always been tough to draw without reference

but really fun when i do have reference: 

One of my favorite gestures: 

The model was wearing striped sock.

She later put on some Tibetan style finger

claws. Pretty cool prop. 

Venetian red:

black black (black ink and black acrylic paint mix) with an 

ink wash and white white (ink and acrylic mix.)
