Drawaholics workshop 2- Live figure drawing

Lesson 2: A 5  minute walk can go upto 15-20 minutes on San Francisco's steep roads

We have weekly Drawaholic workhops at school with a live figure, male/ female. It has really improved my sense of anatomy and gesture. Looking forward to more of these.

Lesson number one: Do not try to eat chips outside in San Francisco. It is always windy and the wind  is not your friend!

Probably the most hard work I've put into any course so far. I thought I had a lot of patience before taking up this course but Perspective really pushed me. These might look like simple illustrations but there is a foundation of perfect constructions and accurate perspective that led to the final illustration. Who knew even shadows had constructions. I mean let's make the world a simpler place to live in :P

Jokes aside, I learnt so much from this class and came out a little wiser from one of my most dreaded subjects.

     

    

Funny how I was itching to go out and paint but couldn't find the time to do it. And then I took a class that made me paint every week. Still can't believe I woke up early morning to capture the sunrise or drove down on my cycle on a foggy day to capture that environment. I chose the fountain near California Academy of Sciences in Golden gate park, just because of how awesome this place is. Over the course of 14 weeks, we had to paint a plein air which is outdoor painting every week at different times of the day.
