If you do photography, writing, music...etc that's cool too.
NP I like your work. I don't know much about photography, but your work looks really good.
My art work puts food on the table and pays my bills for me,:) but I enjoy figure drawing as a hobby. A nude model is always the best, but loose clothing is cool too, it's just more of a challenge (depending on the light source) because of the folds in the clothes. The technique I enjoy using the most is filling the entire sheet of strathmore with vine charcoal and then using a needy eraser to draw the figure and bring out my highlights. I use compressed charcoal for my shadows and some of my middle tones. Then I go in with some off the wall weird, soft pastel colors over the charcoal and man does it really come off the page.;) I like sketching still lifes too. For those of you who like sketching still lifes, you should try sketching brown paper bags if you haven't already. They're really challenging, especially if you have a good light source. Other than that, I'm a transportation designer during the day, and I teach an introduction to transportation design class two nights out of the week.
