These are from my second session at the Lavender Hill Studios sketch club. Really nice bunch of people. Quite tempted to do a few days of proper studying with them, apparently they put a huge emphasis on fundamentals, which I could probably do with.
I was actually quite happy with all of these. I used the tombow pens for the 2 min gesture drawings and while not great, they look good, I think. The rest are good old trusty brown pencil and had mixed results. They seem to have suffered a little in digitising. At the moment I'm just using my phone to take a picture of each drawing, emailing it to myself, then using gimp to crop and adjust the levels to something that isn't really really dark. I could probably find a better way of doing this. In particular, it would be nice to have more even lighting so I don't have to be so drastic on the levels and ruin the shading so much. But hey, it works (ish)!
EDIT have taken down a couple of the weaker drawings as they were somewhat dominating the blog...
Tombow pens or brown pencil on nice thick sketchbook paper.
