The only Life Drawing I've managed of late was the following gestural set drawn this morning:

Started out as a shading set (as seen at upper left), but I switched over to a quicker series of random, much quicker sketches, which are more likely to be helpful with my current work.

To bulk out this post, I jumped back to an early set from 2017, only a few months into my then-nascent kick of daily sketch sets:

Note the "scribbly" shading approach, using the back 'n' forth "graphite squiggle" technique that I still use today. I believe I was using 5B Turquoise Prismacolor 2mm leads at the time, the same I was using for late-period Empowered all the way up through vol. 12.

If I get a chance (which I almost certainly won't, TBH), I might discuss why I think that this years-long Life Drawing kick was, in the end, deleterious to my productivity and quite possibly a major blunder on my part. Lordy loo!

NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: No idea, TBH, but something should be coming up in the next M/W/F slot. Let's find out together, shall we?

Nice to see the simple gestural set today. Based on what you wrote above, it seems like maybe "life drawing" and "shading sets" don't work for you like "quicker sketches". Any way, I'm enjoying all of it. Do what works for you.
