One of my favorite memories from my trip to Byron Bay, Australia was the Dynamic Drawing Workshop I attended with Jane. I love life drawing, but my favorite kind of life drawing is quick sketches — aka dynamic drawing. Sketches ranged from super quick one-minute poses to longer fifteen-minute poses.
Here's a peek at what I drew:
Towards the end of the drawing session I started adding color, as you can see. Color can be a crutch and a distraction, but I love it.
Thanks for stopping by!

I love your dynamic sketches, especially the super quick ones–so much energy in the looseness. I also notice a few different folds in the papers, particularly the radial ones on the sketches with the seated nude. Can you share a bit about that? Thank you!

I enjoyed seeing how your strokes became more and more bold and assured as you progressed. What a great exercise!

Julie – You sketched the nude girl? I’m totally impressed. I’d probably sit there (in class) & think “Gosh, wish I looked like HER when I’m naked!” But I’m too old & wrinkly now. Gravity is NOT our friend! LOL
