1938 - Progress

Like a private Dr. Sketchy. I had Kim in my studio today. I dressed him like the characters of my project.

Last Session with Lee Jia

A cool session, 30 min poses, enough time to quickly sketch, do some planning... wetting paper and brush... and of to the next. I like cropping, seems to make the whole thing a lot easier. It is actually... the less you do, odds are you will make less mistakes too. Lee Jia will leave to Australia, that was our last session with her, it's always sad to see a good model leaving... need to find a replacement.

The Boxer


Meet Dan Lin

Our life drawing on Monday has been cancelled due to spring break. So I decided to move the session to my new home studio... after all Saturday was a terrific experience and I wanted to do it again. With Jin(yes he's a lot around lately and I appreciate his presence) we occupied my small room, unfold our palettes and sunk into the realm of water and pigments. This time I used a Saunders HP paper, smooth as silk. I actually really liked it's flexibility. Drawing with lead, it's quite easy to erase without damaging the surface of the paper. I used the same colors as Saturday.
