From the anatomy explainer in the first half hour, prior to the model starting the pose.
I still have a couple of places in some of the July "Draw with Scott" sessions on Tuesdays 7-7:30 at Royal Queensland Art Society (Brisbane Branch) Inc. Petrie Terrace, Brisbane.
These sessions alternate a portrait and a long figure session.
The first half hour is a "chalk and talk" anatomy demo about either the head/facial anatomy or other parts of the figure (depending on whether it is a portrait or figure that week. You can take notes/copy the diagrams and generally see my approach to the figure combining construction and flow.
The next hour the model takes the pose, we all draw, you can come over and watch what I am doing if you wish.
After the half time break, I offer one round of feedback on your drawing if you want it, though I'm completely happy to leave you alone too!
Then I will return to my drawing until the end of the session.
Due to popular demand, I am trialling a Sunday afternoon session 5-7:30pm, with the same format and the same alternation of portrait and figure poses.
