Sunday Sketching – Live Model

Yesterday I had my second opportunity to sketch from a live model. And what an interesting model he was.

Nate arrived somewhat breathless, resplendently dressed in Victorian garb from head to toe: black cloak lined in plum wool, waistcoat with satin lapels, brocade vest and ascot scarf around his neck.

The poses were held for fifteen minutes, with breaks in between each stretch. I sketched this first one fairly quickly in pencil, adding just enough detail to give the right impression.

Later in the session I focused on his face.

How was your Sunday?
