4 Hour Pose – tomorrow
I haven't been drawing for a while. Its a bit like going to the gym - you start missing a few sessions and then apathy hits. I discovered a four hour session in Cardiff organised by Dave Daggers and thought hell, I am doing this. I am apprehensive about the four hour session - it will be the longest session I have done. I suppose the best way to manage it is to be as structured as you can - have a firm aim before you get there. So the plan?
- Focus on areas I don't normally get the chance to work on in the shorter sessions such as:
- Hands and feet
- Head
- Muscle tone
- Start the session with a brief reprise on scale an proportion
- Use larger scale paper - A1
- Try paper with a bit off tooth in it
- Get different shades (6 sheets)
- Use softer materials - try some conte crayon
- Experiment using blues, sepia and ocher colours to build up the form
