Drawing 1 Avalanche

First of all--I finished the background for Napoleon.


I still need to make a few changes to appease my teacher but other than that he's all done.

Second of all--literally no one (not even my teacher) was expecting it, but we had our first live model in class today.

So we did some gestures. And by some, I mean a ton.











Sorry for the low quality of some of these; I had to photograph them to put them on the blog and I didn't want to use flash for its notorious effect on oil paints... and I used oil pastels (which are basically solidified oil paint) on a good chunk of these.

My arm is still a little sore... for the two hours our model was there, we didn't break at all.
