Here are a few drawings from a life drawing group that had a great model. All of her poses were so good and she could hold the long ones as well as the short ones, too.
The thing about drawing from life using ink is that it's a great drawing teacher - the marks are there to stay and we can learn what we did wrong - well maybe not wrong, just not what we intended. While they can't be changed (although marks can be modified in interesting ways with non-waterproof ink) I always learn something from my ink drawings. Mainly, though, I love ink drawings because they show what you're thinking - or how you react to the model - at the moment you put pen to paper.
I used Itoya calligraphy pens and Derwent Line Makers on Strathmore Mixed Media paper and added a little Derwent Chinese White drawing pencil on the front figure because I thought I got the shadow under her neck a little dark. Did I cheat a teensy bit? Artistic License😉. Thanks for stopping by!
