Yoga Sketch Book

My figure sketches are done in a moleskine book. I love those things! I usually have a theme for the book, this time it is yoga poses. Here are two pages I did recently. I used color pencil to draw these sketches.

Drawing 3 Highlights Started

You can barely see it, but I began to put the white highlights on this drawing. I like the little flash of light showing up on the figure's lower arm. After not seeing this drawing for about six months, I have discovered some areas of the drawing I will modify. The feet are not in this image but they need work!

Four drawings complete

The Art League had a extra wall today, so I hung the 4 drawings with highlights side-by-side. Ai portfolio show is tonight in the Southend area, so I hope to take a few people by to see them.

After looking at the crouching figure above, I decided to make some changes to the face. I erased and blended some of the highlights on her face.

Too bad my normal studio is not big enough to hang these up all the time!

Drawing 1 Complete

Here is the drawing as it looked in June 2009. The dark values are in place, but no highlights. Also, the figure's hair was short. The face has a lot of problems.


The image above is how the drawing looks in June 2010. I changed the face a lot. Adding the pony tail, shortening the face, enlarging the eye area, etc.

This is the final full drawing. Her feet are all in shadow. I am trying to finish the series this summer so I can begin getting ready for the exhibit in December.
