Aleksander and Rebecca

10 minute figure drawing

I was talking to Stephen Chien of Artists 25 about what separates the really inspiring art models from the simply competent ones. He observed that the best models will sneak peeks at the artists’ easels during their breaks. Their genuine interest in the art is what elevates their modelling.

Life Drawing Duo are a perfect example of that.

All drawings are chocolate Derwent drawing pencil on newsprint.

Last October, I had the pleasure of drawing Aleksander and Rebecca at the Backfence Society’s Dracula night. I have this drawing of them framed on my living room wall.
