Figure Drawing 1

Figure drawing is my favorite.  These are all from life.  

I like putting multiple figures on the page for a number of reasons.  Not only is it economical, it allows me a way to transform them from being only studies to something more when there's a bunch overlapping.  Overlapping the figures is also a way for me to exercise my mental muscles of not making things precious.  Train myself further in composition by doing.

The first one with the big-headed Poe was a nice change for Halloween.  One of the illustration teachers at MassArt was cool enough to pose for us in that giant mask that he made himself.  The room might've been 75, but in there it was probably at least 90 degrees.  Thanks for suffering for us Mark, I appreciate your sacrifice for my art.  Serious.
