Here is another figure drawing done in burnt sienna colored pencil, with white and cream for the highlights. I also worked in some henna colored pencil where the light comes out of shadow to give the figure some life. It looked pretty lifeless with just burnt sienna.

Henna and white colored pencil on pearl paper. The henna colored pencil is a lot more pink than you might expect.

Drew from a model in class for a few days using colored pencil. We started out sketching the figure in graphite first, then we went over the drawing lightly with a dark colored pencil. The graphite was then erased and we proceeded to render the figure with both a dark and light colored pencil.

The assignment was to choose a mythical animal, and draw what its skeleton would look like, pretending we were scientific illustrators for National Geographic or something. Being a Sagittarius myself, I choose the Centaur. It has a horse’s body, but where the horse’s neck begins, starts the pelvis of a man. The horse’s neck and [...]

For homework in figure drawing class, we have been drawing different parts of the head in our sketch books. This week, we were assigned to put all of those parts together and do a self-portrait. I typically have a lot of trouble with self portraits because of the way the mind distorts what I see [...]
