life drawing

I last went to a life drawing class back in 2005 during my illustration degree. I haven't been back. I'm not that confident about drawing people, nor do I enjoy it a whole lot when I think I'm not that good at something. Today I joined the life group in Ruthin where we had a clothed model. It was good to start drawing again - not just rabbits and silly mammals but something that takes me out of my limited comfort zone. I will be going back in two weeks' time and I'll hopefully post something up every time I go. This week, I stuck with my trusty pencils.

The model was a LOT younger than she appears here. She was a teenage goth girl and quite gorgeous in her voluminous sleeves and long skirt.
