Life Drawing Toronto!

I decided to start going out of my way to find life drawing classes, since I live so rurally. So in October 2019 I spent a day in big ol' TO and actually found a class I could attend. It took place at The 519 community centre on Church St.
I only had a small sketchbook and used an H pencil. I rather enjoyed it.
I hope I get to draw dudes again one day....





Sharp Shinned Hawk Sketch

This poor hawk hit a window a split second after catching a pine siskin at a bird feeder. I decided to draw it alive.
I really shouldn't take photos of my drawings at night, I know!


Bodies in Motion

Bodies in Motion is a fabulous resource for artists. Zillions of  high resolution photos of athletes and dancers. Created by Scott Eaton, the bested anatomy teacher around. Check it oot!

I am amassing mountains of sketches from this, here's some early ones. Most are timed five minute sketches:







Superb Fairy Wren

8"x 8" on that lovely Arches cotton paper. I must get better at taking photos of my stuff!
