Figure Drawing 2nd Session

My second time to go to a figure drawing session at the AVAA. I'm hoping to start going at least a couple times a month. There is so much energy in the room...3 hours of artists focusing on improving their ability to see and draw what is there and also developing their own way of seeing. I can't wait to go back!

I hope to give a little more time to the faces on some of the poses next time...I'm getting a little faster, but sometimes I just can't get it down before the 5 minutes are up!

Figure Drawing Session (Parental Discretion/Schlong Advisory)

These are from my first ever "The Full Monty" figure drawing session at the AVAA. Didn't get it at first that these sessions are all male. I'm such a ding-dong (no pun intended;) I was really proud of myself for going because

A.) I haven't drawn/painted with a live model since college.

B.) I am more comfortable painting females than males and this forced me to branch out

C.) I get nervous drawing and painting around others...trying to get over those fears.

D.) I rarely draw and sketch these days, so I'm hoping to ge back into sketching and illustration.

These sketches aren't the best, but I was rusty, the poses are pretty short (some only 5 minutes) I am super slow.
