Life Drawing

We did five minute poses this week, which were so much fun! It had been a while since I drew short poses and I don't think I've drawn in pen at all this year, so I'm glad I didn't struggle too much.  Our wonderfully 'eager' model brought in these massive helium balloons for the first half, which was interesting...

But yeah, it reminded me of this drawing exercise I read in Patrick Smiths Blog, where you draw out spheres and place characters around them, so I gave that a shot earlier today and it is a really nice way to loosen you and warm you up!
