KNEES (knees, knees, knees....) (Patreon)

Hello and happy Thursday! Michael's been busy preparing for his gallery's 10th anniversary show, which kicked off last weekend, so we've missed a couple of sessions, but we're back on the schedule now!

I love drawing this gal. Five minute warmups first!

For our long pose, I did a practice sketch that I looooooved:

I really focused on the shapes her knees made last night, and was super happy with the result.

Unfortunately I made the legs a bit less vertical on the watercolor paper...

... but I really enjoyed the pushed exaggeration on the face!

Here are some process shots. Guess where I wish I'd stopped!

I overdid the thing I understand the least - the legs. but I liked the top half a bunch. Here's the full scan:

Okay, I still like the way I drew the legs. I love using colored pencil to outline these drawings. Here's the original if you'd like it! It's a bit more than usual because it'll include the prescketh that I love so much. :) Use ARTNERD50 at checkout for your 50% off!

We're onboard to have figure drawing next week, too! So you'll see more from me then. Thanks so much for being here - it always makes the process feel like more than just practice for myself. I love sharing these with y'all. :)
