Disney Session: Life Drawing 3

And here are the drawings from the 5th day (we had a museum day on the 4th day because the model got food poisoning, ouch!):







Next, off to Disneyworld!

Disney Session: Life Drawing 2

Here are a few drawings from the model we had on the third day:

Disney Session: Life Drawing 1

So I recently finished a session of a yearly class that consists of 5 full days of figure drawing and then 10 days of drawing at Disneyworld doing reportage. It was an INCREDIBLE session, and I can't wait to go again next year! I'll be posting drawings from the figure drawing and reportage over the next couple weeks, so enjoy!

Here are a few drawings of the model we drew for the first two days of the class:

The Jersey Shore

I went down to South Jersey this weekend to visit a friend, and had a great time at the Jersey Shore. South Jersey is beautiful! It was my first real time into New Jersey, and I was so surprised, since all I had heard was people badmouthing New Jersey (and especially the south). But it was so beautiful, lush, and green! It was nice to get out of the city for a few days and just relax on the beach.

Belvedere Castle

I've always wanted to draw Belvedere Castle in Central Park, but the last time I tried to draw there, it was January and I got frozen out of the park. Now I decided to go in the summer, and I got horrendously sunburned! I can't win! Or I should just wear sunscreen. Anyhoo, it was a great drawing day, I'm glad I finally got up there to draw the castle. Plus, I got to try out my new reportage stuff for my trip to Disney this year (new dip pen and new oil pastels/turpentine brush pen!) and the new reference book I've been making.

Central Park

Went down to Central Park to draw the runners for an assignment and got a little drawing done for myself, too! It was a beautiful day, though I'm surprised so many people were out running in the heat of the day! Masochists, all of them.

Colorado Continued: Macchio!

While I was home, I also had the pleasure of meeting my brother and his fiance's brand new puppy, Macchio (It means "Spot" in Italian)! I am not a dog person. I even took a "course" from my mom's friend when I was little about how to not be completely terrified of dogs (I received a bone-shaped magnet for my achievement). But Macchio is the sweetest dog in the world. I absolutely love my new little nephew, and he even let me draw him while we were headed up hiking in the car! (You can see a tiiiiny drawing of him with my brother in the last post of the hiking drawings.)
