After college was done I missed life drawing; the opportunity to fine tune my skills from a real live figure, to improve my speed and style with gestures, the fun of being with other artists in the studio. Thankfully in 2009 I was lucky enough to find something similar at a life drawing meetup in Austin. Later I would join life drawing groups in Nashville and Denver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pastel drawing was done at a wonderful life drawing group in Nashville, Channel to Channel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channeltochannel.com\/\">https:\/\/www.channeltochannel.com\/<\/a>. I started with a quick gesture and in about 20 minutes this developed into a completed drawing. This particular model was one of my all time favorites;  easy to draw, great poses, good at holding a pose. I got a lot of my best drawings from her poses!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"913\" src=\"http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/portfolio-55-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/portfolio-55-1.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/portfolio-55-1-300x228.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/portfolio-55-1-1024x779.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.m3creations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/portfolio-55-1-768x584.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every serious student of art at some point takes a life drawing course in college.
