Figure This life drawing session (in person!)
God, how I missed the life drawing sessions in person! I love being able to have access to international models and hosts, but sitting with others in front of the scene and drawing is something else entirely. Yesterday I was really happy to be returning to Belfast’s live drawing nights, Figure This. It was great to chat, listen to music together, meet people – although of course we were all spaced out and masked – and relax for two hours.
The host of these events, Hattie, is an artist specialized in psychological techniques and her lessons are truly relaxing, inclusive and easy going, so you easily enter an almost meditative flow of drawing.
Here are my drawings from the evening, all in charcoal (some were on colored paper but I manipulated the image and the contrast to make the drawings more visible):
Dio, quanto mi sono mancate le sessioni di life drawing di persona! Adoro la possibilità di avere accesso a modell* e host internazionali, ma sedersi insieme ad altri di fronte alla scena e disegnare è tutta un’altra cosa. Ieri sono stata davvero felice di tornare alle serate di disegno dal vivo di Belfast, Figure This. È stato bello chiacchierare, ascoltare la musica insieme, incontrare persone – anche se ovviamente eravamo tutti distanziati e mascherati – e rilassarsi per due ore.

Ecco i miei disegni dalla serata, tutti a carboncino (alcuni erano su carta colorata ma ho manipolato l’immagine e il contrasto per rendere il disegno più visibile):
