This is a sketch I drew from a model in the art class I am taking. I had a very short time to draw and this is the first of 5 attempts that looks best. I sketched this on heavy weight drawing paper (medium surface) and the size is 18" x 24". Next week I will re-sketch onto a canvas so I can make a painting out of it. Luckily the model will be there again, in the same pose! I wish I had done the sketch on canvas to begin with but I have never worked on drawing a live model before and was unsure. I think it turned out ok. The teacher wanted us (beginners!) to work the abstract shapes that make up the figure rather than focusing on the details. Lucky since I am not good at hands and faces (as you can see!).
