lifedrawing log - 10.26.11

The guy next to me had his headphones at max volume and was whimpering like a Skeksi. There was really no polite way of bringing that to his attention, other than maybe saying "That's quite a tune you're carrying. Been lobotomized recently?"

Model was great, though. I'd drawn her before.



I asked the group what they considered their lifedrawing "sweet spot" to be, as far as duration. I told them mine was 15 minutes, because it's short enough to keep me focused, but not so long that I fuck everything up. Was surprised to hear two people say "5 hours", the explanation being "We're painters." 5 hours! Guess that's why I'm not a painter...

I realized that I do lifedrawing the way some people do yoga. It's this meditative thing that simplifies my world, relieves tension and keeps me fit. Ommmmmmm....

  1. she is a milf, do you mean 15 mins per sketch? how long does each little sketch take you? I am very slow

  2. Yeah, I've been meaning to ask what the duration on these are.

  3. This session started at 1 minutes, went to 2, and capped out with 10 minute poses. Generally they throw some 15-20 minutes in at the end.
    If it goes over that, I tend to jump around the room to draw from different angles. Should really bone up and get those details in, but nnnnnnnn -- don't wanna!
