As people move along in their lives, we learn to adjust to the distance… reflecting on two inspiring muses that have moved on to better things. Best of luck to both @maddancer10 and @connor_speetjens … #art #artist #artwork #aslnyc #draw #drawing #sketch #sketching #figurativeart #figurativedrawing #quicksketch #figuredrawing #lifedrawing #gesturedrawing #follender2022 #croquis #dibujo #kunst #kunstwerk #arte #artecontemporaneo #artstudentsleagueofnewyork #drawnfromlife #bodyaslandscape #artistsoninstagram #artteachersofinstagram #artmodel #figuremodel #muse #dancer https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxDQuYLq3a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tiny 15 minute sketch of the mesmerizing @for.amuse done over Zoom alongside my students… after I spent another 30 or so minutes trying to capture a tiny likeness using other images on her Instagram account to polish the thing:) Might actually finish this one someday… #artist #artwork #art #draw #drawing #sketch #sketching #lifedrawing #figuredrawing #gesturedrawing #figurativeart #figurativedrawing #follender2022 #dibujo #croquis #arte #artecontemporaneo #quicksketch #muse #artmodel #figuremodel #aslnyc #artstudentsleagueofnewyork #artistsoninstagram #artteachersofinstagram #sketchbook #drawnfromlife #pencildrawing #zoomart #drawingoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CjqNGpELQb1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Strange goings-on at the studio over the weekend… toying with some new ideas about old designs. Playing with some strange underpainting bedfellows… something seems afoot! #artist #art #artwork #draw #sketch #drawing #sketching #painting #artistsoninstagram #figurativeart #figurativepainting #aslnyc #follender2022 #artstudentsleagueofnewyork #figurativepainter #artistsoninstagram #artteachersofinstagram #narrativepainting #storyteller #arte #artecontemporaneo #oilpainting #underpainting #mythology #mythologyart #paintsketch #artmodel #figuremodel #quickstudy #oilpaintingonpanel #playingwithpaint https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXOwjbumSw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tiny quicksketch of the lovely @mad_dancer from a recent Zoom class alongside my students. Trying to show them that precise rendering only goes so far when it is based over an unreliable lay-in. It is best to work over simple shapes and a broad but accurate framework before further embellishment takes place… general to specific:) #art #artwork #artist #lifedrawing #figuredrawing #gesturedrawing #drawing #draw #sketch #sketching #drawnfromlife #figurativeart #figurativedrawing #figurativeartist #dibujo #croquis #kunst #kunstwerk #quicksketch #follender2022 #artistsoninstagram #artteachersofinstagram #artstudentsleaguenyc #aslnyc #zoomclasses #artmodel #figuremodel #figuremodeling #arte #artecontemporaneo https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb73wW0r-Qy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Quick white chalk demo on black construction paper for my online Zoom drawing students last month, using a prior short sketch of the lovely @laleigh.pop as reference. The limits of my materials became quite obvious nearing completion, but the basic process of building mass using chunks of light as opposed to zones of darkness seemed clear. Definitely bigger next time… and with better paper😂 #art #artist #artwork #draw #drawing #sketch #sketching #artdemo #figuredrawing #lifedrawing #gesturedrawing #follender2022 #figurativeart #figurativedrawing #figurativeartist #drawnfromlife #kunst #kunstwerk #dibujo #croquis #arte #artecontemporaneo #aslnyc #whiteonblack #chalkdrawing #quicksketch #artistsoninstagram #artteachersofinstagram #figuremodel #artmodel https://www.instagram.com/p/CeRQ1LTLrqT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When drawing online over Zoom, often the subject of distortion comes up among my students. While this undeniably occurs using this platform… taking advantage of certain proportional exaggerations can sometimes be beneficial (or utterly disastrous:) Luckily, the lovely @heidivalkenburg makes even distortion look elegant!🔥🔥🔥 #art #artist #artwork #draw #drawing #sketch #sketching #lifedrawing #figuredrawing #gesturedrawing #figurativeart #figurativeartist #figurativedrawing #drawnfromlife #quicksketch #aslnyc #follender2022 #artistsoninstagram #artteachersofinstagram #arte #artecontemporanea #artmodel #figuremodel #dibujo #croquis #kunst #kunstwerk #instaart #kunst #kunstwerk #drawingtechnique #zoomclasses https://www.instagram.com/p/CdnkB_JLx5T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A quick down-and-dirty 15 minute demo I threw together for my students. The pose changed halfway through, so I did my best to bridge the difference between the original position and the adjusted pose. Just a sort of shading primer for them to watch while I yammer alongside:) #art #artist #artwork #draw #drawing #sketch #sketching #lifedrawing #figuredrawing #gesturedrawing #drawnfromlife #figurativeart #figurativedrawing #artmodel #figuremodel #quicksketch #follender2022 #arte #artecontemporanea #dibujo #croquis #kunst #kunstwerk #aslnyc #artistsoninstagram #artteachersofinstagram #artdemo #artoftheday #shading #contedrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CbFejuGuvUn/?utm_medium=tumblr
