Vilppu Figure Drawing Class 04

So this Tuesday’s class with Glenn Vilppu was long poses with it culminating with a 2 hour pose.  For those that know me, I’m fidgety as all hell and have a short attention span: so it was a rough drawing session.  During the 2 hour pose, Glenn was broke down his approach for drawing in graphite, sanguine colored pencil and a drawing stump.

It’s something that I haven’t seen in his videos or drawing manual so it’s always interesting to see him do demonstrations on it.  Apparently, it’s something he picked up from studying Rubens drawings in Denmark over the summer: I guess nobody is too old to learn new tricks, even master draftsmen.

I was sitting right next to him during the 2 hour pose and it was really intimidating to draw with him right next to you.  I would peak at him drawing and look at my own and just cringe a little.  Haha.  Joys of learning.
