Scot and Head Studies

Line Drawing of Scot

Sketches of Scot from last Sat­ur­day at Hip­bone. He’s wear­ing an elephant’s nose in one of these. Jeff let me sit in on his Field Guide to the Fig­ure Series.

Brit and India

Line Drawing of Brit

Brit, one of my favorite mod­els, stopped by the stu­dio yes­ter­day. She’s a the­ater major and takes direc­tion won­der­fully.

Ariel

Sketch of Ariel Jones

These are sketches work­ing with Ariel, a great fig­ure model here in Port­land. She has a won­der­ful grace and is a joy to draw. It turns out that she spent a few years in Chattanooga. Small, small world. These are ink on paper from my sketch­book. The later are part of The Sketch­book Project. [fb_​like]
