Drawing Men Online



I liked the preview of the male model so I took a chance on drawing via Zoom session today, and I was as disappointed as I have been in the past. While the model was good, his connection was not and it was too blurry to get any real details. Coupled with the fact that one member kept adding unwanted (in my book) commentary, and the facilitator kept chitchatting and translating (the model Antonio is based in Bogota and had limited English), it was distracting and unproductive for me. Ironically, it was because I gave up that my best sketch of the session occurred, and I just did a very quick, unstudied 5 minute digital sketch during a long 20 min pose.  This won't go on Instagram though.
