Exploring Cubism in Figure Drawing
Every time I attend figure drawing session I try to make the most of it by continuing to explore different styles of drawing and do as many sketches as possible.

I don’t consider these drawings cubism yet, but its just the start of my exploration. (more…)
Figure Drawing with Charcoal on Construction Paper

Figure Drawing with Watercolors

These drawing sessions with live unclothed models are a great way to maintain your drawing skills and try new media while attempting to draw very quickly. It’s also a great opportunity to meet different artist and get inspiration from them. (more…)
