Pirating the Model

[tealin]

The last half hour of life drawing is usually given to long poses, which I should probably do but they're just so boring, and I don't need any more practise being really nitpicky about accuracy and rendering thank you very much. Tonight I hijacked the model and made her into pirates instead.
      
1. Pumpkin Spice, having to adapt her from a much curvier, stockier model, so some of the proportions are a bit weird.
2. Pumpkin again, trying to capture a look of contempt, struggling with the hat, then randomly deciding to make it a lifting pose which isn't reflected in the head and neck at all. Blah.
3. Matcha and her colouring book.

I love these - as always, your work is brilliant and inspiring. How do you get your scans to look so amazing?

Um ... use a good scanner? These were also pretty big drawings (about 6-10") and done in oil pencil on newsprint, which gives them a softer look than what I usually do in my sketchbook.
