HMoA Figure Drawing 12/16/2013 - Sergio - Short Poses


Sergio 12/16/13 - Short 02, Ink on Paper, 9"x12"
Sergio was the model this Monday at the Honolulu Museum of Art Figure Drawing Class. As always, Sergio did some complex and fun to draw poses.  These are the short poses for the night.

Above is my favorite of them. It was the second 5 minute pose. I really had a good night. The way I rendered the head in that sketch. This sketch has a great balance between the wash and the cross hatching. There was some serendipity in there as well, I doubt I could recreate that head even if I tried.

I am enjoying the effect I am getting from the complimentary colors in these shorter poses. The blue and the goldenrod is a neat color effect.

There is a lot of movement in this drawing. He looks ready to dart of the page.

Below are the gestures from the night. I did 5 with the brown Tombow and then 5 with the Olive green and pink color combinations.

This was the first of the gestures. It is surprisingly good for the first pose. Normally I  have a few terribly sketches before I warm up.

I like how much I was able to get in this sketch.

 The green and to orane/pink look great here. I was a really like these next couple sketches.

I swapped to a lighter pink because I was a little unhappy with the lack of light dark contrast between the orange/pink and the green. I am a little unhappy with the coldness of the pink.

This drawing has a sickly monstrous feel to. He looks like he is hunched over in pain slowly morphing into something.

This was the last of the gesture drawings and it is the weakest of them. I always have a scale problem when the model hold their hands above their head. I will have to focus a little more on that.

This sketch came out amazing. It was the First of the five minute sketches and I am having so much fun with the tombow pens and wash.

Sergio 12/16/13 - Short 03, Ink on Paper, 9"x12"
This was the ten minute pose. I am a little unhappy with it. I got a little confused by the foreshortening but there is some good things going on in this drawing. I got the overlaying shapes of the body blocked in very well.

Good night overall.
