From a session in North London, this floor based piece featuring model, Mike, demonstrates some of my favourite qualities when approaching a figure drawing - foreshortening to get a sense of depth, volumes of the figure emphasised with small indications of shadow, a feeling of movement through the lines of action running through the pose, a very clear and readable silhoeutte that captures your attention, all the while feeling loose and organic. I also like the fact that he fills all the page, the pose implying that he is confined by the borders surrounding him. The piece is done with black gouache on brown, textured craft paper (the reverse side of which is smooth). I used the freshly applied gouache for the intial mark making and strong shadows (darker areas of black) and then would add the softer shadows with a dry brush effect once most of the paint had come away from the brush (lighter areas). I would then repeat, intertwining and working line and shadow work simultaneously in a way that makes them feel unified and not two individual processes that can usually render a life drawing 'stiff'. All of my figure drawings are from life - no photos were used at any point in their fabrication. The model is in front of you and you have a definite amount of time to get down as much information as you can or see fit. Because of this, each drawing is truly unique and a complete one of a kind, containing a spontaneity that can never be duplicated through photo inspired drawings/paintings. For more peices like this, please look through my other works.

English/French Character Animator that has worked on animated feature films, 'Nimona', 'Missing Link', 'The Secret Life of Pets', 'Minions', and many more over the last 16 years. Figure/Life Drawing is my passion and as well as being something I take great pleasure in doing, also has a very beneficial impact on my professional work in terms of anatomy, weight, movement and posing. When drawing the human figure I love using shadow to create volume and depth, I love trying to capture the weight and movement in an anatomically correct and yet loose manner, and above all, I love finding little attentions to detail that capture the essence of the model, especially around the face. I have lived across 3 different European countries and the US, and am now living in London, UK.
