[life drawing] (Patreon)

i’ve been a little sad and useless the past couple of days. things keep reminding me of things, other people, people who have left my life recently. sorry to be vague.

i’m posting some life drawings that i did in 2022, at a local place. very productive, very challenging. it was quite funny, that was my first life drawing session there and i approached the guy in a bathrobe at the bar, clearly the model. (it’s a bar/event space also.) he confessed it was his first time about to model, talk about a big leap… :’) he seemed a little nervous. i know i could never stand in just my birthday suit in front of 20+ people. but he did amazingly, finding natural and interesting poses. he came to look at what i’d drawn right after, and took pictures to post for his friends. life is so weird. but good.

these are done in conte pencil. it's like the much better, non messy version of charcoal. (charcoal on paper gives me like, the exact same feeling as nails on a chalkboard. my teeth/skin is hurting just thinking about it...lol) each was probably 10-15 minutes. i have more i’ll post another time, because i’ve been back there on a few occasions, i just hate the way patreon posts look when you post multiple images.

have a picture of my cat, sat in her little radiator bed, staring at the food i was holding. 

listening to this very cool song.
