Ladies

I never really got into Lifedrawing while at school, I attended the after class sessions pretty much only when necessary and that was about it. Lately, I've gotten my act together a bit and have been attempting to just get some 'cafe' drawings done, since they really are a great practice of ones observation and rapidity. I tend to sketch more realistic, and as I start to get the hang of it Im going to caricaturize or cartoonerize people a bit more. I do love that rush that one feels when drawing strangers though....are they looking at me?No...Ok draw....uh oh....their looking in this direction, pretend your not looking......oh ok they looked away again.....and so forth.




At the same time, I've been really wanting to practice drawing 'sexy' women, and unfortunately, most sessions don't have 'that' type of model. But I recently had my attention drawn to a session that does in fact feature attractive, younger girls...and more!!! It was at Dr. Sketchy's in Toronto. The atmosphere was great, there was music and a sexy model girl who had different interesting costumes...plus I got some nice sketches out of it which is always a bonus. I coloured some up on PS because they seemed a little bland as just line drawings. I also kindof jumped styles. The pink one is just something I messed around with, but it shows that even a really simple line drawings can be appealing, the others were done with a brush pen, or just pen/ pencil and marker.

I didn't see the last one the last time I looked, but I think that one's the best of these 8)
they all looks real nice though, I like your experiments with colour and the first two girls still remind me of Ros :P
