This sketch is the seventy-second in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…
Day seventy-two: My friend Christopher has been encouraging me to practice figure drawing at a local artists’ coop where one can sketch a live model all Sunday afternoon. I spent a couple of hours there today working with vine charcoal, white and gray conte crayon, and occasionally pencil. This sketch is the best of the dozen or so I walked away with. Aside from the fact that the man’s left arm looks more broken than foreshortened, I liked how it turned out. It was drawn in about 10 minutes. I have to admit that sketching a real person (fast) and not a figure in a book is a lot more challenging, but a lot more fun too.
