FIgure drawing (Winter 2010)


A couple of my better figure drawings (pastel on Bristol) done in winter 2010. I was interested in breaking down the figure into planes to understand the 3-dimensional forms of the body. Each of these were done in less than 2 hours, so there wasn't much time to consider lighting and tones.


A couple of quick sketches (more like random doodling actually.) For me, gesture drawing is a lot like automatism, because there's no time to think about what I'm drawing. The subconscious takes over and sometimes I am surprised with the results.
