Digital Life Drawing

I teach the full time drawing and painting program at the London Atelier
(www.drawpaintsculpt.com).
A huge part of the curriculum is life drawing, in particular long pose figure drawing, with poses up to 72 hours long!!! spread out over many days but still!!

So anyway, on the odd day I take my laptop in to the studio and do some digital life drawing in photoshop.
The rules are simple, no undo, one layer and only one session (3 hours).
This way its as close to real painting as you can get and requires a lot of concentration.
here are the results of two such 3 hours sessions.




After the sessions however I get a bit carried away and start to draw armour over the models, its pretty fun to do after all the concentration to get the figure drawn out.




blogger seems to really hate the colour profile of these images and loses definition in the darks, will have to look into that.
