We had our transgender model at open drawing at the Art Students League again. She is a tough one to draw, something about her proportions, but in general these came out better than the first set I did of her.

It’s always fun drawing at the Montclair Art Museum‘s First Free Thursday Open Sketch drawing session. Longish poses in interesting costumes from our fabulous model.

Haven’t been to drawing for a while, busy at work and unable to leave in time for Open Sketch at the Art Students League. Loved the model, bit of a goofy looking guy, reminded me a bit of Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), kinda skinny, and well defined in places, but with a pretty big “skinny belly” in certain poses. He had great big bulgy eyes but moved them a bit too much for me to capture them for the portraits.

First time I had a transgender model today at the Art Students League. There was nothing extraordinary about her, but I did find she was difficult to draw, I wonder if it’s because she had some odd proportions because she was born a male?

It’s Free Thursdays at the Montclair Art Museum again! They had a great new exhibit, Kara Walker: Virginia’s Lynch Mob and other works as well as an exhibition looking at Identity in America. We have a returning model in some great outfits for the open-sketch studio, and one of the little girls, Tessa in attendance posed for us too!

Same model as yesterday, really great poses again, but couldn’t capture a lot of them quite as well as yesterday’s session. Last pose she was upside-down, so it was kind of weird drawing her like that and trying to get a likeness. Experimented with some shapes for her face, but it didn’t end up as a good likeness either.

Another great model today, reminded me of Carrie Fisher/Princess Leia with her hair in two small buns. Lots of short dynamic poses. No Full-color portrait at the end though, this one just worked out really well as a sepia tone drawing.
