Life Class VIII

More life class. I was trying to be more expressive and loose in style this week - not sure if it was working so you'll see that some of the later drawings are focused more on accuracy. I was looking at drawings by Riccardo Mannelli this week and thinking how much I'd like to get his sense of three dimensional muscles and skin texture - but then I also love the expressiveness of Egon Schiele etc... I want to develop to be able to do both and still have my own style but don't know if that's possible. I also want to get better at composition because I can never fit the feet on the page...! (Should pretend I'm doing it on purpose really...) Anyway, click images below to see full sketches.
