LCC Sun Drawing 03/30/14 - Sergio - Short Poses

I have been making a habit of going to Sunday Drawing over at Leeward Community College. The model was Sergio and as always he was a blast to draw.  These are the short poses from that morning.

Of the short poses, this was my favorite of the morning.  It was one of the five-minute poses and Sergio carefully balanced on the staff. I am happy this pose came out nice. The washes in this drawing show the range of tone I am able to get with the Tombow Pens. I think there is a nice rhythm to this drawing.

This was the 10-minute drawing. In these, I have been starting to get the blue into the darks of the drawing. It actually reveals a lot of my technique with these pens. I will usually do most of the sketching in a single pen and then work other colors into the drawing as I need to define more and more.

On a side note, if I ever need to do a drawing of someone kneeling with a crusader sword, I can use this sketch as a base for that.

This one is my favorite of the gestures. I think the ink wash and the hatch marks are working well together.
