Leather & Watercolor



Today's model drawing class was a bit of an experiment. I kinda jus went with my own techniques, and had to rethink how it might go forard for these kids. But I also thought, shouldn't I be sharing my particular way of doing things too? 

I say this because I asked the kids to map out the shadows in watercolor lightly, since there's only so much time in a model drawing session. It's different from a normal watercolor technique but with 8 minutes average, I wanted thm to get a sense of the volumes right away, sorta like a wash grisaille.

The leather, I just showed them in pencil. As once student put it, so do it like comics? Yup!
