Life Drawing Session - Procrastination

I find I'm never as creative as I am when I should be doing homework. Last night I really, really needed to be working on a paper. I decided to draw instead. It's still a good use of my time, I could have been watching TV, after all. Oh wait, I watched all of Being Human series 3 too (my god Aiden Turner is beautiful). hmmm, getting distracted again.... Point is, I did a few little studies of the type I should really make a point of doing more often in order to keep my skills sharp. 

Looking at all three I can tell my interest was not holding until the end, though. The first started out as a careful, academic study, the second one is much closer to my typical scribbly style, and the third is barely started, though I like outline look as well. I may try a few studies in which I concentrate on a few simple lines, because it's so hard to do right.

The Sketchbook Project - Cubismish

I sat down last night to try and figure out my next sketchbook page, and started thinking about a few sketches I did years ago in a sort Cubism-inspired style, where I basically drew a bunch of lines, then put different bits of whatever I was drawing in the spaces, like this apple:

So I did exactly the same thing and picked up the first thing I saw to draw - a little globe. I think it turned out very well.

A Night at the Circus - Sketches

Last night I went to Drawn & Plastered, an event held about once a month here in Winnipeg. It was a fun night, I got to go to a pub, have a pint and do some sketching. Right in my element! The theme for the evening was 'Circus', so the models were in costume, and they even had a couple little shows too. I took plenty of reference photos, which I'll make something of shortly. I certainly didn't create any masterpieces, but I enjoyed myself anyway.
