Life Drawings (Part One)

I've been going to free life drawing sessions at Rmcad the past few Thursdays with my fellow Illustrator Andy Musser. Here are a few choice cuts from last week's session:

I hadn't done too much life drawing with pencil since we always had to use vine charcoal in class, but I ended up really enjoying it. I was inspired to try it out by Andrew Wyeth's pencil preliminary studies for his portrait paintings after looking at his autobiography. I'll post some more life drawings soon from this week's session where we had to improvise after our model didn't show.

Pernard Absinthe Contest

This is a digital painting (along with the pencil drawing) of my submission to the Pernod Absinthe "Creator Of" art contest. The only requirement was the work use 1805, the year of Pernod's creation, somehow in the picture.


I settled on "The Spirit is Here" for the title. Happy Groundhog Day!
