Self-portrait

Little mirror self-portrait exercise I did with my patrons a few weeks ago. I haven't done this since college and I forgot how difficult it is to draw yourself while you try to look both at the mirror and at the paper to draw yourself lol 😬

Victoria Semykina's workshop sketches! :D

A little selection of sketches that I drew during the AMAZING life drawing workshop by @victoria_semykina at @lagaleriaroja . I couldn’t recommend her class enough if you want to improve your observational and creative skills + explore lots of new media and drawing approaches! ✍️🔥 I’ve posted on my Patreon almost 30 pages of sketches from the workshop if you’re curious to see more! (I still can’t believe how MUCH work we managed to do during only 3 days 🤯) Thanks again Victoria for all your wisdom and advice! 🫶✨

Life drawing + oil pastels

Some rough poses from yesterday's life drawing session hosted by the always great @veersdrawings and modelled by the incredible Sica! The theme of the session was "chair poses" and they were all fast paced (from 1 to 5 mins) so it was a great opportunity for me to play around with oil pastels and let those shapes flow! 🖍️🔥
