R&D 007

As I promised, here is R&D 007, (no bond jokes). First off I am going to shake things up (as opposed to stirred) I am not going to pick the models for you this time, each one of you are going to pick a model to work form your self, and pick 3 photos to work form, same model if you can, otherwise I will not say anything if you pick 3 different models pictures, just find 3 you like. You will do 3 drawing for each picture and they will be timed!

• You will do 3 gesture drawings of 5 minutes for each model photo. Now talk a break stretch, have a drink of water, what ever.
• Now in the same order as before do 3 minute drawing of each model. Break again.
• Now our last time through will be 1 minute gesture drawings. Yikes this is quick! Try to get the most important stuff down first feel the flow and see how you do.

Don't cheat this is just an exercise that helps to loosen up. I would recommend to use a big news print pad if you have it with thicker (charcoal) media and work your whole body into the drawing, sweating is not bad here! Also try to do all the drawing all at the same time.

Not required but might be a good idea, take your favorite pose and do a longer drawing of it now, I think you will find that your drawing will have a new energy to it!

Now lets draw!

P.S. I think all of our models are so great, and I thank each and every one of you! This group would be nothing with out you!
