DRAWING FROM LIFE

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.
