Figuring drawing on Friday mornings can be great fun if you've got a great model. Yesterday the workshop welcomed "Andy," from New York. A "little guy," he was no taller than 5'2, but boy, did he make up for what he lacked in height with personality and pizazz. He'd brought along a couple of props and costumes to change into over the course of the five hours, and his props were anything but Mary-Poppins-esque. A pistol was paired with a cigarette and wife beater. A trench-coat was paired with a machine gun and fedora, and a cigar was paired with a unitard bathing suit, mid-calf socks, and Woody-Allen glasses... Dude was gangsta'. So fun to draw.

Props should be used more often! Otherwise, all focus goes towards the nude models'... hands :)
