Nude Figure Sketch Studies - Preview!
Added 2021-10-30 00:27:50 +0000 UTCAs a lead up to posting twelve new NUDE photo references for our 2nd tier group this Sunday, I'm sharing this preview page from my own 8x10" sketchbook of my own figure reference.
When I do figure studies that are more of the 5-10 minute range, they look something like this. I work with a broad carpenter style graphite pencil for chunkier mark-making that I find ideal to efficiently rough in shadow shapes, and to gesture in, with ease. If you want to give it a try, this one is great:

But I am a firm believer that the materials don't make the art, it's the artist, what the artist brings to the table through practice, their knowledge, commitment, and personal essence. Any old pencil will do!
New reference material to practice in this way coming Sunday!
