I last drew Robin back in May 2013, when I attended my first life-drawing class, so I was hoping to see some improvements in the intervening seven months. I'm not too sure the drawings actually demonstrate that.
I'm trying to focus on line at the moment, as that is what is required for part of my next assignment on my OCA drawing course. I therefore steered away from the Conte crayons and went back to pencils and charcoal pencils as my main media.
We began with a series of short 10-minute poses where Robin played imaginary musical instruments.
Here is the flute:
The legs are too short and the hand indistinct, but I was quite pleased with the effect of smudging the charcoal pencil to get some shading.
Here is the violin:
I think the hands are slightly better here.
Finally, we did a 40-minute pose, with Robin holding a broom:
Again, I think the legs look slightly too short and rather weedy compared to the body, but I'm not unhappy wiht the line of the face and also the way hands rest on the end of the handle.
Is there an improvement on last May? Maybe a little...
