Thanks to Mr. Kevin Coffey for letting me use his photo of Osaka as the backdrop.

Life Drawing

I haven't done any life drawing for a long long time, but I'm so pleased to have taken it up again thanks to meeting someone who runs a class in London. I've posted a few of the pieces from the first session below, but you can see a bunch more over at Flickr.

Then we had the luxury of a full twenty minutes (!) so I got time to do some work on the face too:


But I think this 15 minute pen and pencil drawing towards the end of the session turned out best...
