Monster Commute – a Traffic Novel

Last night we had another TINY ARMY meetup, this time focused on Life Drawing.

Kevin Hedgpeth of the Art Institute of Phoenix, graciously set up the event and the model.

We had about 10 participants, and it was a really calm evening of drawing. I only really got to see Jerry Salinas and Jason Cheeseman-Meyer drawings, and both were expertly drawn. You can see that Jerry is pretty dang accomplished; his drawings were very beautiful.

I don’t know the last time that I did academic drawing, but I’m pretty sure that it was back in college about (gasp!) 20 years ago. Hey, don’t laugh. 20 years can go by in a moment.

I’ve spent the last 10 years trying to learn how to draw with vectors. It’s often been frustrating and difficult, but now it IS how I draw, and I love it. Not surprisingly, it hasn’t helped much in the area of life drawing.

That said, it was a fantastic challenge that I look forward to attempting again. It’s great to break out of your comfort zone every now and again.
