Since attending life drawing classes at The Newlyn Art School i've been keen to improve my draftsmanship a great deal. With help from tutors like Jason Walker i have been improving my "eyeballing" of the subject matter, looking a lot closer to get a more accurate description of what i'm drawing. with this in mind i have also been making little studies from old masters like Titian and Velasquez and also the Pre Raphaelites.
Pencil Studies from Velasquez and Titian- 2012
Pencil Study of a detail from Velasquez 2012
Pencil Study 2012
This image comes from a fashion photography site but it reminded me of Velasquez' Venus. I may well revisit this in paint.

Pencil study 2012
Here i have combined an image of model Nicole Trunfio taken from a fashion magazine with the armour from Klimt's Pallas Athena. I chose this as i like the confrontational look of the model and also it was a chance to get some real contrast between the raven black hair and white skin and also to draw the tonal contrasts in the metal mask and armour.

a quick self portrait 2012
lacking a model one evening i sat myself in front of the mirror, i will do more of this as i found it quite challenging
