Here are the results of my first week of figure drawing practice. Since I started my drawing practice mid week I only had three lunches to sketch this week. Two drawings then isn’t bad for me.

Figure Sketch Sept. 16, 2010

figure sketch 9-16-10

Used a stock image from Deviant art by lesoleilfoncestock called Old Ballet.

Paper: standard bond

Media: crappy pen

Size: 5.5″x8.5″

The deviant art stock section is a good place to look for reference material and I had planned on using it exclusively for my sketching practice. I found however that many of the images weren’t of use for studying proportion. Either the pose was cropped or too awkward for my basic drawing skills.

Quick 60 second figure sketch I drew one the back of some scrap paper at work. For reference I used posemanics. I had forgotten about them, I’m going to use them more.
