Life class II - Female body

5 minutes sketch

A short 5 minutes pencil sketch of our model, Doreen. When doing short poses, I found that general lines are much more important than details to suggest form, expression, and even weight. To be able to draw quickly, I need to look more at the model and look less at what I am drawing.

After several “warming up” short sketches, a longer one (40 minutes) allows more time to observe detail and textures.
