Have you ever been drawn...

[Btq97]

I imagine that was a bit less "intense" than nude modeling. (unless, of course, it was nude modeling)

Yes it was a lot less intense

 

[Trubbycat]

What were the circumstances?
Why did you give it up?

I took life classes in school and later had an informal drawing group amongst some friends. Like most things in our twenties, it went on for a while and then petered out. It was a good experience and good memories.

Pen is in hand.

Space out.

 

[JustAnotherFlower]

So... draw space aliens?

 

[VoraciousValue]

Drawn? No.

Drawn and quartered? Also no.

 

[THROBBS]

So... draw space aliens?

I have.

 

[JustAnotherFlower]

I have.

Oh, my!

 

[THROBBS]

Oh, my!

your what?

heehee

 

[THROBBS]

Pen is . still . in . hand.

Hopefully it won't remain "still"


I have control.

 

[JerseyJade]

Do you know how to draw caricatures?

 

[THROBBS]

Do you know how to draw caricatures?

yes.

 

[THROBBS]

For my next trick... imma use someone's likeness as the basis of a fairy.
Most everything is lined up, 'cept for the block of time.

 

[THROBBS]

Gotta good start on it. Watercolor this time.

Need several blocks of time.

 

[cheekygirl75]

Not nude, no. My sister and I were drawn when we were kids. I think the artist was very flattering

I hope you show us

That sort of portraiture tends to be a different dynamic.

 

[THROBBS]

I hope you show us

On my thread in The Visual Artists' Corner.

 

[Mattentive]

I've never been drawn, quartered... or hung.

 

[THROBBS]

I've never been drawn, quartered... or hung.

sad.

 

[THROBBS]

I still much prefer to draw from life.

 

[THROBBS]

Where are my "French girls"?

 

[THROBBS]

I've been used for body painting, but I've never modeled to be drawn before.

That would be very interesting.

As the brush or the canvas?


heehee

 

[Trubbycat]

I saw a woman getting body painted at a Toronto street fair many years ago. I concur.

 

[THROBBS]

I am past due. (in so many ways)
I will try and get to the café to draw from life like I used to.
Obviously not the same as nude figure drawing, but it is good practice.

 

[THROBBS]

One of the last times drawing from life at the café was 2018!
Last one scanned at any rate. I am pretty sure there have been a handful since.
