Figure Drawing Sketches

Last week I was able to sub for the Figure Drawing 1 class at Macomb Community College and while the students were on a longer pose I joined in to get some sketching done. On this particular pose I had them do drawings from the chest up as opposed to the full figure that was being done for the majority of the class. So, I followed suit and did a few quick head studies.

Portraits

In the last few sessions of my figure drawing class we had the opportunity to work in any medium, as long as it was in full color. We had been working with colored pencils for the last few weeks, so I brought in the acrylics to see what I could do. I started out not half bad as these two will attest, but it was downhill from there. During the last two sessions I stunk up the place just about as much as one could stink up a place. It was bad. Expletives were quite common from my little corner of the room. I couldn't mix paint, well, I just couldn't paint and let's leave it at that.

So, here are the two that didn't suck so much.
