Dancing with Pens and Models


So these are drawings done in both pencil and the new pens, plus one more extra special pen i found at NY Central from Japan. It is a brush pen that actually feels like a brush (most brush pens to me feel too stiff, not like real bristles and such).

The gesture was a 30 second pose as a warm up. It was literally my first drawing of the night, but since i have a thing for dancers, i always "get" their posing faster than others.
The others were probably either the 2 or 3 minute poses. I was trying to make each piece feel complete unto itself as if i had imagined it that way and was not dictated my a models pose. Does that make sense?

She was a fun model for me to draw and i hope we get her again soon. I felt like her body shapes were a contradiction and thus found her even more fascinating. Enjoy all.

I said it last night, but I'll say it again: I really like the pose on that second one. You really captured her weight distribution.

Thanks guys! Liam always talks about getting the weight of the figure, feeling the weight especially on the feet. like they are planted. I keep that in mind a lot. Especially since i feel like i need to work on my feet. I just can't seem to get them.
