These drawings were not demos. I encourage my students to take risks when they work from the figure. When we have a model, I sometimes do some drawing myself. I want to show how scribbly my own work is and how I leave every line without erasing. The quest for perfection is paralyzing and perfection itself –well, we don’t even know what that is, but I can tell you it’s boring.
Above, three quick head studies in pencil, 11 x 17.
A figure study, pencil, 11 x 17.
Figure study in Aquarellable Pencil and watercolor wash, on index (non-glossy), 11 x 14.
Let’s crop that last one.
So much more immediate and engaging.
