We got PAID, let's DRAW!! (Patreon)

Michael and I took the last few weeks off from figure drawing so he could finish up a commission, and, lo and behold, he also got a surprise check for two paintings that sold at Principle Gallery in Alexandria!

In the meantime, I spent all day Monday (successfully) hunting down money owed to me by various clients, so by the time Tuesday rolled around, we were both feeling flush and stoked to get back to figure drawing business Wednesday.

Let's start with our usual 5-minute warmups!

I really liked the warm right leg/cooler left leg in this stage, I wish I would have kept that! Here's the final:

(Drawing straight lines is my worst nightmare, so I turned the staff he was holding into a ball.)

I enjoyed drawing his face verr much.

That's it for now, Art Nerds! If I manage to do a little drawing at my own workshop this Saturday, I'll share 'em with you next week!
