Life Drawing: Etienne

Some life drawings of model Etienne at The Cotton Factory; 

he's a fantastic model.

The Hamilton Spectator did a nice little article on him, here.

A Hallowe'en-themed costuming session á la Butts & Conté. The werewolf connection was a bit dubious but I thought the socks were a nice touch.

I've been getting back into more regular life drawing again lately. Hadn't realized just how much I missed and enjoy it. Above are a few from a session at the Ben Navee gallery.

Excessive Life Drawing Dumpage

I had an enjoyable time in Life Drawing this year; I think a lot of this had to do with the fact that we were essentially given free reign in regards to exploring mediums (media?) and styles. That relieved considerable pressure from producing ultra-finessed, polished, 'pretty' drawings, and I guess as you can see, I sorta thrived in straying from that course and enjoyed some experimentation. The above three were drawn with my right (i.e. non-dominant) hand, which meant less control but more vitality and expression in the line-work I think. Kudos to Tim McCormick in encouraging the search for individual style. Enjoy!

p.s. these last two made it up in the hallway display case, at which point I can now promptly cross 'get life-drawings in the display case' off my '100 Things To Do Before I Die' list...

life, abundantly
