Blocked in study in pastels On Wednesday I usually go to life drawing. It's so educational to draw a model from life! There seems to be a sense of 'freshness' that's nonparallel to working from a photo. Above is my first stage of blocking in the red-headed model. I underlaid three pastel shades onto the paper before starting to sketch to give a nice undertone. Below is a more progressed stage.
