Tonight we spent a lot of time at the animal shelter and we ended up bringing home a wonderful cat that should be a great addition to our family. By the time I sat down in front of my easel after dinner and setting up the new cat I was already pretty tired so I only did an hour of head studies.
What I was supposed to do with these head studies is try and render the head as simple and quickly as possible while at the same time providing enough accurate information of the head to continue with a longer drawing if needed. I find that when I’m working with a live model I spend most of my time trying to get the head correct and not enough time on the figure. I’m planning on attending a life drawing class tomorrow so I wanted to try and get some of these ideas figured out tonight.
