Here's a portrait drawing from sometime around Nov. or Dec. of last year. Probably one of the last decent drawings I made in that session. I stepped away from my figure drawing group in the Spring, as I was feeling too stressed about work and other projects. I was having a hard time relaxing and enjoying myself. Now, I am missing it very much. I am thinking about returning when the next session starts in July. I love drawing the figure! I hope to have a much bigger showcase of the figurative work up on my website in the next couple months. I also really want to work on some clothed/costume drawing sessions with models. Anyone got a fabulous/stunning/hot outfit they want to be drawn in? I usually need a couple hours to work with a model to get warmed up and get a accurate drawing done. If you are seriously interested let me know, maybe we can work something out. I would love to draw people I know sometime, as opposed to the models at my drawing group (who are by the way some of the best life models in the Bay Area). I have been drawing at Michael Markowitz's drawing studio (http://www.users.interport.net/m/c/mcm.dnai/) at 23rd and Chattanoga, SF for many years now. Michael has run the place for nearly two decades now. I really appreciate and admire Michael's dedication and artistic output, and can't thank him enough for providing such a quality experience when it comes to the drawing from the figure.
