Figure Drawing 1
I'm starting a new series of digital drawings that focus on drawing the whole human body in a variety of poses from a variety of perspectives and angles. I hope to explore the use of foreshortening and create images that have a more interesting composition
While my life drawing series focuses more on begin sensual and is always drawn from observation, these will be more geometric and sometimes drawn without a model present.

Life Drawing 2 - Man and Woman Lying
Life drawing - drawn from observation.
I've always been very interested in the paintings of Oskar Shlemmer, who drew people in ways so simple a geometric, it made them look more like abstract statues than breathing creatures. When life drawing I often forget that the people in front of me are alive, and simplify their form into shapes that come together something like a body. Ideally, the images come out as cold a lifeless, but bold and statuesque.

Digital Art - Life Drawing - May 2014
Recently I've been committing almost all my time to finishing one animated film and planning another. Sometimes I just force myself to work on some smaller things, so I attended attended a life drawing session at my local art centre and sketched a few bodies, and to my surprise a few came out ok.
It was more of a pose for the models than the artists, so most of the poses lasted only five minutes (though it felt like five seconds)

The model for this one held her pose for about 20 minutes though.
(Those times, of course, don't represent how long I spent editing them digitally.)
I think there's a definite difference between the one drawn in five and fifteen minutes, and not necessarily for better or worse. I tend to spend as much time as possible correcting each piece, but placing restrictions on yourself can often improve one's artwork. Restrictions, after all, are what made Schoenberg's 12 tone music and Ernest Vincent Wright's "Gatsby" so unique.
