Contour
This is a contour drawing. We used colored pencil. You draw very slowly using with your pencil as parallel to the paper as possible. I am really bad at it. Although the ones I picked to put on here are pretty decent (lots of practice). We get 5 minutes for […]
Contour Drawing
These are the contours I stayed after class to do. Well a small sample of them any way.
Contours
This is a conte blocking. You take a piece of conte and use one tone to lay out the basic shape of the person, then you press harder to get another tone for the shadows. You only shade in the darkest shadows and you only use the 2 tones. You […]

Another gesture, same woman
Gestures
This is a gesture drawing. They are fun to do, but complicated. You have to sit at the far edge of the bench with your arm straight, drawing by only moving your shoulder and/or elbow, holding the pencil at the back and so lightly that the teacher could just tap […]
Gesture Drawing
This is the second line drawing I did. I got a lot farther on this and I think the only thing the teacher did was the lines on the face.
Line Drawings

Quick Note on Sketch Sizes
I’ve moved onto the nose, obviously. Just one more page of them before I get to the lips. That’s a large chapter.
Noses 1
Hopefully I will only have 1 page of eyes left and then it’s on to the nose, but that is a much shorter chapter. These are not as good as the other ones. Nothing good from the daily sketch book.
Eyes 3
This is an eye I did on my own. Trying to use all the practice I am getting from that book. It’s done over quick sketches of Tux.
Practice Eye
This is from Saturday. It’s James giving Tux a bath
Quick Sketches
Anything with a page number is practice from “The Human Figure” by John H. Vanderpoel. If I start practicing from another book I will note it in the caption.
