 It’s been awhile since I posted some of my life drawings, January was the last installment so, without further ado, bring on the butt nekkid parade.
 
 The above drawing is probably a 3 minute sketch. It ‘s not a slap dash piece, it may happen fairly quickly but is also methodical. I lay in a few contours and tonal shapes with a flesh tone Pitt Big Brush, restate contour lines in a darker brown, and then drop a bit more flesh tone to bring out the light/shade contrast. A few quick strokes to denote ribs and the model changes posture, but not before I’ve established the posture’s key structural features (minus one leg) and an indication of light source with an emphasis on the implied contour of light-shadow transition, and a couple nods to specific detail, I.e. the face, the elbow, the left hand and wrist band.
  
 
 
 
 
Can you teach me to draw like that? ?
Having never seen your drawings, I can only say that given enough time and attention I believe I can help you improve your skill sets. Other than that, I have spent 9 years posting my drawings and thoughts on this blog and on Instagram at: donald.colley54 and on Facebook, sharing what I know and have to offer. If you have the motivation and a bit of DIY, then you can absorb what you will. The necessary requirements from you are, practice, perception, patience, and persistence.
Can I send you some of my efforts… I’ve been to a few life drawing classes I will send you my favourites. I’ve follewed your blog for a while I just love your work. K
Thank you for the info added about your approach and materials used with some of the sketches. I like your response to Katie,’s question.
