Gesture Drawings 1.

Another first for the Drawing Vault - gesture drawings - and very quick ones at that. I found this super website that displays photographs of models specifically for artists to draw or paint from and as I haven't painted in front of a live model for years, this was a super find. I decided to start doing very quick drawings from this website tonight and to my dismay I find I am completely out of practice. I could draw better at school. I guess I shouldn't put any old drawing on this blog, but right now I'm not bothered as I want to see how my skills progress if I manage to draw each night, time permitting. These were done with pencil - charcoal is too messy for this late hour - and with a bit of luck my photography of drawings and sketches should improve over time as well.
