Vilppu Figure Drawing Class 02

5 hour figure drawing class with Glenn Vilppu Take 2.  3-25 min poses.

Still learning how to draw, so this is gonna take a while before I post something good.  Was an interesting day at Glenn Vilppu’s class on Tuesday: a model with expressive poses and me completely tanking on that session.  Haha.  That’s how the learning process works, you can’t be good when you want to be.  Just a very inconsistent drawing session.  However, I did take some lessons from it.

As awesome as ebony pencils are, I learned that they’re the worst thing I can use for figure drawing.  I’m naturally heavy handed when I draw, so until I get better control in my line, the ebony pencil will be riding the bench.  Glenn did a demo on using graphite, sanguine pencil and a drawing stump: note quite what I’m used to seeing from his videos but it’s cool nonetheless.  It’s an interesting process and some of the stuff I drew following that process turned out fairly ok.

I’m still not grasping the idea of flowing from one form to the next, but maybe I will after a few weeks.
