Day 1 of #OneWeek100People2018

I have taken on the challenge put out by Mark Taro Holmes and Liz Steel to draw 100 people in one week. #OneWeek100People2018. Today I worked in gouache and pencil, marker and ink pen.I worked small and used photo references because I had to stay indoors. Tomorrow I plan to draw people while urban sketching.

Figure Drawing with Pencil and Watercolor

This was the clothed model at life drawing today in a 20-minute pose. One of the other artists commented on the speed of my drawing. I think it is because I use contour drawing. I learned to draw in this manner from Bill Robles in the 1970's at the Art Center College of Design. He was/is a courtroom artist. 

I switched from pencil to a marker for these 20 and 10-minute poses. 

These are 2 minute warm-up sketches. I painted the panels with watercolor. I am in the habit of doing the panels because I usually paint the nude. It helps speed up the painting process for quick poses.

These drawings are on tissue paper. I used Elmer's glue stick to glue a beige tissue paper on top of an encyclopedia page. The tissue paper came when my anniversary flowers were delivered (the tissue paper kept the vase from shaking around in the box it was held in).

 I sketched from posemanics.com with a felt tip marker but the Elmer's glue served as a resist so it didn't go on very well. I used black marker and gray marker for the shading but you can't really tell.

I used children's watercolor to color around the figures, it drys very chalky looking and it's a different color when it is wet.

Wild Animal Park, San Diego California

Tuesday I had the pleasure of meeting with my drawing buddies, Susan and Joan. We went to the Wild Animal Park located in Escondido (North County San Diego). I spent most of my time sketching the gorillas.  This is a spread in my Moleskine Cahier - gorillas drawn in marker.

Ducks at Poway Lake

It must have been feeding time for the ducks at Poway Lake. I sat down at the entrance of the dock area to wait for my friends and was immediately surrounded by hungry ducks.

Life Drawing

I went to Ramona today to draw with a life drawing group. I warmed up on a large sheet of bond then, retreated to my small watercolor moleskine. The bean sketch is from yesterday. Just a reminder to myself....
