Life drawing, week 5

The past weeks' work, waiting for collection - to be put into portfolios, for getting feedback - The class was about form - making volume. Getting the main lines, then using loops to sketch out the volumes - and finally, adding the edges -
These are quick poses, about 5 minutes; as usual, the paper is A1 size -
Then, a long pose, with a chance to work on one part of the figure. I'd really, really like to be able to draw hands so the fingers don't look like sausages (or the spread hand quite so much like the foot of a bird!) -
And look at how coloured pencils can be used, and how different drawings can be -

Great sketches - they show the softness of the human body.
Fast sketches have their own simplicity and beauty.
