Multi-level Figurative Drawing Class - Gesture Sketches

For the past few weeks, I’ve been taking a multi-level drawing class at Lillstreet Art Center on Thursday nights. Last night was supposed to be our final class but it got cancelled due to the snowstorm. It’s been fun and pushed me out of my comfort zone since I usually don’t make figurative work. There were many short poses combined with long poses - anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour long. I liked how the short 30-60 second gesture sketches turned out when I would layer them on top of each other as I drew in charcoal. Not meant to be representational, just capturing the movements of the models in an expressive way. Click the images to view larger.
