In reply to: Michael McGuire posted an update ViewLast night’s (20/2/12) long pose. Progress in some respects, but I overworked some parts of the drawing I feel (it looked better after 45 minutes).

In reply to: Michael McGuire posted an update ViewThe long pose from last Monday night. Sorry, Lucy, that I managed to make you look a little too skeletal! But I’m pleased with the overal light effect. It’s 65cm x 50cm soft pastel on Murano paper.

I know what you’re saying regarding lines, and I will probably experiment a little in that direction. But my real interest lies in developing form through tonal and, more particularly, colour shifts. So I will most likely try some oil painting also in 2012.

Well, Catherine looked like she was sleeping! My last of 2011. Some drawing errors as usual, partly because I didn't have enough time to correct them and it's not a particularly good likeness either. But there's a lot I'm pleased with about this drawing, particularly the face and hair, where I got much more confident and deliberate with my final…[Read more]-
Michael, this is great. I would try to add a bit of drawing to the pastel to show some character, maybe with a dark blue or purple line, but good job!

I actually had it much more pronounced at one stage, but it looked wrong (probably a bit off position), so I fudged it in the hope that no one would notice – should have known better!!

The artist's birthday! But Darren struck a great pose under the stage lighting. The left shoulder is a bit too visible relative to the right shoulder and arm, but that aside, there's a lot I'm happy with about this drawing. A step forward hopefully in a direction I want to go.-
For a fellow that claims that life drawing is a hobby your getting very good at it!! if I have one small criticism it would be that this piece displays a concentration on ” portrait” and needs a little more definition on the left clavicle bone to connect the the head to the torso ! but hey! 1+ 1/2 hour well done excellent likeness!

I meant the right clavicle bone!

It was very warm on the stage, so as someone who thinks its warm when everyone else feels cold, I suffered for my art with this one. A bit too blended perhaps, but I didn't have enough time to capture all the subtle variations in discreet marks.-
