Sometimes Dan Draws Clothed People

dannthr · February 5, 2016

Here's a thread for sharing work when it seems OCRemix safe-appropriate. Clothed, etc.

I'll kick it off with a figure drawing session:

Charcoal is such a neat look. Nice work.

Thanks Jared!

I use charcoal for life-drawing sessions because it's cheap but flexible/expressive. Newsprint is great for cheap scratch paper.

Really digging the energy in the gesture work, plus the style is pretty neat. Really digging that "secret agent cigarette" drawing.

Thanks, I was really pushing the gestures this session--but also, the model was really amazing. I heard from someone that back in her prime, she was a fashion model in London!

The secret agent looking one turned out pretty well, though I think I went a bit nuts on her jacket folds--I think that was a 7 minute pose.

I think it also helps the gesture that the drawings are pretty big. I'm working on 22" x 18" paper and many of the drawings are one per page (except for the first two which were part of the 5 minute poses). The face one takes up the whole page.
