Meta morphing: drawing course

I'm taking a drawing course to freshen up and improve my practice and hopefully learn something new. Yesterday was the first class and I worked mainly with the big rectangles of the body - trying to angle and tilt them correctly. We had a live model and I love drawing a real person as I always just draw from pictures. It gives a much deeper understanding of the body's anatomy.

Snapshots from my week

Illustration for Spalt PR

LOVE Agnes Cecile - she just paint awesome watercolor paintings

Sketching Hermes AW14

Love the colors on this one

This is an artist I discovered on Instagram - she is called Kei Meguro and she's amazing. Even thought I like to make pictures free handed where I don't use any kind of transfer paper or try to make the drawing/painting perfect in any way I get a bit jealous when i see her drawings. Sometimes I just want to draw these 'perfect' pictures because I know I can with my right hand, but then again it feels wrong because I love my spontaneous, left-handed, out of control style - not to mention i don't think I have that kind of patient. But maybe I will try it - just to see. It probably got more to do with my ego - that I need to prove(mostly to myself) that I can draw 'perfect' pictures like that as well.. Of course I would need a lot of training to be nearly as good as she!

Zero waste patternmaking FTW! First toile for the powerdress I'm designing for AoE

I work part time at a house for disabled people and one of them is very sick.  I found this children's bible in his apartment and read some stories for him - actually I was a bit curious myself; haven't read in the bible since elementary school. It definitely brought back some memories.
