Has anyone ever done life drawing before?? I had my first lesson yesterday, and I really enjoyed it. We learnt lots of techniques and used different mediums, did different poses, and we also did an excercise where we drew the pose for 3 minutes, then moved places and worked on top of someone elses drawing. That was interesting. 3nodding

yeah, i did a lot of those over the summer, and every college rep i've talked to so far was impressed with what i came up with. that makes me feel good. the told me that i have an advantage over other applicants because not a lot of high school students gets to do life drawings from models. you're quite lucky too, i must say.

can't say i've really done a life drawing before. i did draw a freind of mine once a few years back, but i dont know if that counts. i tried to get into a figure drawing class not long ago, but i've yet to hear from the instructor, so i'm guessing it's canceled.
that excercise you mentioned sounds pretty fun, shadow. how'd it turn out?

I'm at college, life drawing is something we all have to do as part of my course 3nodding Kirio...it worked pretty well..it was fun to see how different people can draw all on one picture..the different styles..

I'm actually taking Life Drawing at the moment. My classes are every Thursday.
All models have been women. I think tomorrow is male.
I've improved a lot ever since I've taken this class, so I'm happy.

I've never drawn a woman..we always have the same guy. It's really difficult to get hold of models, the college was lucky to get the guy we have, but I wish we could draw a woman just for a change..
I agree that you improve drawing skills alot with life drawing. I've improved alot wth the classes; I can master hands! xd

oh, i've painted from 9 in the morning 'til 10 at night. well, i only had 4 days to finish a 78" x 64" oil painting, and i spent the first day stretching and priming the canvas. it was pain, i tell you.
as for the nude model painting, we had 2 days to work on it. the model was only there the first day. i had to finish everything with a complete background and everything.

is it not hard to concentrate for so long on something so accurate and detailed? and does the model get breaks?
