Flying Duck Life Drawing 055

Drawn in January 2014. The model is John and this was the first life drawing session of the year. I decided to focus on portrait work that night and I was quite pleased with it.

This is a Tuesday evening at the Flying Duck pub in Glasgow where they run life drawing sessions for two hours. For more details visit:

There’s normally between 40 and 60 artists – mostly students – and three models. They seem to have one male and two female as a general rule. It’s great to see what other people do and I’ve seen some excellent art skills.

I’ve started to use a Croquis mechanical pencil (B) for the initial work then a 6B Croquis for the darker shading and a paper stick for shading. To add colour I use Derwent Pastel Pencils. For more detail of Croquis pencils go here: www.cultpens.com/acatalog/Pilo…

There’s no better way to spend the evening!
