Looking Back and Looking Forward

2024 figure drawing recap

Hey-O!

Here we are rolling on through January 2025! I’d like to share some of my favorite figure sketches from this past year.

My last session of the year. From Alex Fourier and Rebecca Teale’s excellent video.

This year I finished out an old craft paper sketch pad (which I’ve been working on the last few years), practiced some materials and techniques I haven’t used in figure drawing for a while and diversified my reference sources a bit more, utilizing resources and events from Croquis Cafe (my usual), Grafit Studio, Dal Vero Lab, and also some independent models: Eliana Orquidea, Lillian D’Mello, Maureen Lucas-Saoudi, and Ro.

So, without any further ado, here’s a little gallery:

Looking back, I also found two similar drawings, but 18 years apart:

December 2006, 20 minutes and August 2024, 10ish minutes.

Keep practicing, keep growing, and as always, thank you for fishing with John!
