Does your technical expertise match your artistic vision? Congratulations! You can draw!

I am very, very jealous…

At the sessions I am going to we are doing quick poses too (2-5 minutes) and I am using pencil for those. Included one from the last session that I liked. I’ll get there, one day!

Posting from the session from the other week. Progress feels quite slow, im trying a lot of different things and techniques to make watercolors do something that resembles my intentions. Wasn’t going to post because there is a lot of bad efforts lately (also when painting), but I like to see other people’s sketches too and I’m cheering them on in their artistic struggle even or especially when they don’t make highly commercially exploitable pictures.

Life drawing session - Brazilian dancer

The mobile app cuts the pictures 🫤 please look at the web version.

Model @olamarjosamba (IG) - between 5 and 8 min - mini brush pen & watercolor - A4

Very inegal results - clearly I had difficulties with face/body proportion on this session but at least it's not as bad as the previous one!

I think I’ll make another replychain with these watercolor ones. They are still very rough, but I think I am getting slightly better at controlling it.
Met an artist that told me that I was too old to have a chance at making it. I am glad that that loess is off my chest now :D
