Teaching Life Drawing Class March 8th Covert Characters

I will be hosting the “80’s Rock Queen” themed life drawing session at Covert Characters this Weds night, March 8th, at Workshop in Fitzroy. I will be speaking a bit about proportion and drawing while observing the figure at the start of the class and answer any questions and providing more tips during the mid point break.

Covert Characters is a great class for anyone new to life drawing or artist wanting to join a causal friendly group to enjoy sketching.

I will be teaching more classes this year and hope to announce them more in advance in the future. Be sure to follow the Covert Character’s Facebook page to keep updated on up coming events 🙂

Examples of my sketches from the last few sessions this year:

Greek Mythology Life Drawing Session

Thank you to all of you that joined me for my first class teaching life drawing for the year! Our fantastic model, John, took inspiration from classical statues for the night’s poses. It was truly lovely to hear that my tips on drawing proportion and observation helped. I was very impressed with the quality of everyone’s drawings that evening.

I will announce when I will be hosting my next class soon.

Last Covert Characters for 2016

I finished off my life drawing classes for 2016 with a fantastic anime inspired session at Covert Charaters. Our beautiful model Silhouette d’Amour posed as Ryuko Matio from Kill La Kill with an impressive replica Scissor Blade.

Photos of me going over some figure drawing tips, answering questions and sketching the final pose of the night were taking by my BFF Nicole (BleedingHeartPrints).

Covert Character NEON Life Drawing

Last month I had the privilege to attend another fabulous NEON life drawing session at Covert Character. The Workshop space was changed into a black lit jungle. Our models Hamish and Lorelle were transformed into vividly painted big cats by the talented Suedy @JuicyBodyArt (tiger) and Dale Proposch @daleproposch (leopard).

With the large number of artist attending art supplies ran low and I stuck with my humble white colored pencil for the session.
