draw

Would be artist trying to learn to draw.
Greatfull for all the help and experience I can get.

I have taken up drawing people in the last few years in my spare moments.
I’m just trying to improve.
Looking for models for practice and tend to give them my efforts.
Really need to do nude to improve.
I tend to draw people candidly without them posing.  I am wondering if it gets easier if I have someone who stays still!
As I am a 64 year old supply teacher and look after my mother in law who has dementia, I don't get that much free time, so most of these are done within a twenty minute time frame or from photos.
If it helps with your confidence in me I am of course fully CRB checked.
I also do quite a lot in Photoshop and have a multimedia degree but at this time it’s the freehand drawing that I want to work on.
I would love to draw many of the photos on here but I am aware that I would need permission to do it.
If you feel you would like to help me out just drop me a note. Of course drawing a real life moving human being would be even better! LOL
All my sketches are drawn by hand, tend to be A5. No lightboxes or other aids used at all. I just draw it how I see it.
I think the proportions are getting better though I have never measured.

All of the above is still true but now I am working A4 which brings its own challenges.

I have, of late been approached to do some intimate drawings and would like to stress that I only post images with permission. If that is your thing be assured of my utmost descretion.


Big, big thanks to those who have allowed me to use things or sat for me. You are all amazing!
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Now on purpleport too, same name.

I am somewhat miffed that my hand drawn images are being automatically labelled as AI on here. 

Please don’t assume I just run image’s through my computer. 

Yes I am more than capable of using photo manipulation and have made 3d animated figures since the very first version of 3d studio came out. 

This is not what I am about!

I have just tried using tan toned paper for the first time and like the results. Want to try this more.
