Life Drawing

I feel that to express some of the images in my mind better I need to do some work on my draftsmanship so I've been doing some life drawing to try to refresh my long neglected drawing skills. I've found a drop-in class in Edinburgh (http://leighcho.blogspot.com/) and it's been really good fun trying to get my head around form again. To begin with the learning curve was really steep (I was embarrassingly bad at first!) That's leveled off a bit now though so I've signed up for some taught classes starting at the beginning of May - hopefully this will keep my progression going. (Sorry for the cropping - my scanner's not big enough!)

Sketches 01

I've been doing some sketching to get more practice in figurative drawing. Sources include life, photos and drawn characters.

Emotion Sketches

Meh

Anger

Suspicion

I'm interested in portraying emotion so I had a go at sketching some different facial expressions. The aim is to get a feel for how our facial muscles produce different expressions. Hopefully this will help with modeling blend shapes further down the line.
