The FIT Fashion Art Department faculty sometimes hold drawing sessions with models, and this was apparently the first one since the pandemic! It's my first one and I was being very experimental, going from charcoal to pastel, before finally ending up with my favorite medium for lifedrawing, colored pencil. We were drawing a marathon, nonstop it seemed for over two hours, since we had two models and each model would rest while the other posed, which meant we artists were drawing continuously! These were two of the sets I drew: the first set is a pair of pastels where I was trying to be all late 80s fashion drawing student, a la some of my professor peers. It's not really my style, but I was evoking Steven Stipleman and maybe even KPB. PLus, aside from one recent demo in class last week, I haven't used pastels in DECADES, much less in a fashion Illustration context! My hands were so dirty, thank goodness there was a sink in the classroom.
The last one felt more like me, a gray colored pencil drawing of the last look.
