not copying the model

more trying not to copy the model... Feels like I might be getting out of the 'rut" I was in.



demo below - me trying to show constructing the figure instead of copying


and practicing what I preached - long poses

Getting back at it - I was feelin pretty rusty at last nights figure drawing class. After a week away it was slow going getting warmed up.


kind of a nice one... but there are still a lot of problems with it


tonight I did some 10 minute poses from the online trainer - this time I made more of an effort to approach the figure 'structurally' - not trying to copy it, more like reconstructing it based on the models pose... I like the results much better.
