This drawing is a bit washed out and weak looking, but I wanted to post it because I really fell in love with the model, and not just because she's hawt. This was done at The Salmagundi Club in NYC, which has open sketch sessions twice a week. There's a piano in the room where the sessions are held, and during one of the breaks the model sat down at it and played a beautiful rendition of Satie's "Gnossiennes Nr. 1". It was a rare moment of beauty in my otherwise bleak existence.



I was gonna start talking to her, but the minute she finished, this old dude jumped in and totally cock-blocked me.]]>

My values are getting darker, though, which is good; I didn't have to adjust the contrast in Photoshop much at all...



I'm happier with these two. The outlines were done with burnt sienna ink and pencil.



And here's some butt warmups, just for the hell of it...

I'm not too pleased with the way it turned out. I think the stronger parts are where the line breaks and varies in weight, such as along her upper leg and breast; the heavier line of consistent weight seems to flatten the watercolor too much.
Here's my analysis of good lines v. bad lines...

I was excited to go gawk at all the rednecks with their misspelled signs replete with Nazi and/or racist imagery, but it was a real bust in that regard. There were tons of rednecks, but the rally organizers must have learned by now that those signs with Obama with a Hitler moustache or dressed up like an African witch doctor are not exactly helping their cause when they show up on the news. I did get to hear the Great Man himself speak though, and I did get this nifty water bottle.



I listened to this song a lot on the train ride home. Funny stuff! (It doesn't really get started until the 0:40 mark)

This one really got away from me...



A male model!? How'd he get in here?


He looks a bit like Bobby Duvall. (Yes, we're friends, so I can call him "Bobby.")]]>

These next two were drawn with a reed pen according to the rules of AD and then colored in the next day. It was a good chance to see how watercolor would work with heavy black.
