Friday’s life drawing session was a special one. I was the only one to turn up so I had a private model. How cool is that? Not even mentioning the last.fm jazz shuffle I put on in the background. Reward of the last man standing.

Life drawing used to mean a single pose for 3-4 hours for me, taking a break every hour. Those were back in the Corvin Drawing School times, in 2006. We made pose sketches called “kroki”-s (croquis, french, simply means sketch) but no one cared about them really. I remember struggling a lot with finishing the drawings in time, heh. Eversince starting animation the figure drawing approach has changed, and no pose is ever longer than 30 minutes really. So this friday, as I was in nostalgic mood, I asked for a “special extra long” 90 minutes long pose. It was agonising but refreshing in the same time, I go so out of practice doing proper life drawings. I wonder how would I cope with a 4hour long pose? Any fanatics interested hiring a model for 4 hours?
