Tonight at our Life Drawing Group, I thought I’d ask the other artists if they’d mind doing the pose on the page I’m working on for the book. Granted it’s overkill on how much detail I want for the picture book, but I thought the lighting would be helpful. His age, race, and apparel are different. The boy will be wearing a pair of shorts. The South Sudanese typically wear American street clothes at least in the villages I know about.
This is what I got done in the hour and half we have to draw, I’m more often have time to capture more muscular detail than I have in the past, which makes me happy. I need go back and balance some of the shading. 19″ tall pastel pencil on brown pastel paper.
I’m looking forward to working on this pose on the picture book page tomorrow, with shorts. 😉
