Figure Drawing at Florence Art Accademy

Hallo girls and guys!! Here are some drawings from the last months from the thursday free session of figure drawings at the Florence Art Academy.

3/3/2016 (couple of hours, charcoal on paper)

I'm quite satisfied with this. Maybe the head is slightly smaller then it was in reality. Also the left profile of the girls body could be a bit softer like the one of the arm. But I tried a bit too much to define form also to be sure that I understand them.

During the last session at the Florence Art Academy, I decided to go digital, mainly because it was easier for me to carry only the tablet. But anyway, you have to practice something if you want to get some juice...

Here is the first drawing (03/02) with the major steps divided per layers:

Hello!! During the last week, I succedded in attending free figure drawing session at the Florence Academy of art. In this post I want to round up the last three drawings I made. And the pictures chronologically:

The height of the figure is about 20 cm. I'm quite ok with the right side, where the light gives up to the shadow. As usual, I had to struggle a lot with lower limb, and  no time to study the belly in depth.

Here it is another figure drawing at the Florence Academy of Art. I tried sanguigne in pencil and a red pastel in stick. Here is work in progress after about an hour.

Another Figure drawing of May 2015. Experimenting with Blue pencil, like the ones used for comics. The blue is cool, more vibrant  Nevertheless not enough contrast for value, but the model was good for anatomy.

and a further step

Critique: usual trouble with feet. More attention to line weight and economy. Not satisfied with middle tone espressed with volumetric line. The core shadow on the left shoulder is ugly...

Altra sessione di disegno dal vivo alla Florence Art Academy. Due ore di posa, grafite su carta Fabriano ruvida per schizzi da 120 gr, dimensione 297x420 mm.

e il disegno finale. Con tracce di carboncino e pastello, per vedere l'effetto nelle zone più scure.

Oggi sono tornato a disegnare un modello dal vero; erano un paio d'anni che non disegnavo una posa tanto lunga: due ora con pause ogni venti minuti. Ecco gli avanzamenti:

Non escludo di portarla una altro po' avanti. Di sicuro cercherò di tornare al figure life drawing!
