Frederick Figure Drawing

Frederick Figure Drawing

One of the areas I am focusing more on recently is figure drawing. On Tuesday nights I join a group of artists in downtown Frederick while my wife attends classes at nearby Hood College. It is a great atmosphere in a large, classic unfinished attic in a turn-of-the-century building. I feel somewhat that I have been transported a century ago to Paris and that we are all wild bohemians; Picasso or Matisse could be joining us at any minute. Figure drawing is challenging because once you try for a likeness your have to keep your proportions somewhat accurate throughout the entire drawing. I taped two pieces of paper together for this drawing. It is much easier to get the feel of the entire figure when you can freely move you hand around in large gestures.
