Try getting a sketchpad with one of the wire ring binder things. Then just sit and work in a largish sketchpad for the one minute ones - flipping over sheets as you go. They're only warm up/get your eye on/loosen up exercises when all said and done.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe try using one sheet of paper on the easel and draw a bit smaller. Lots of studies on one sheet - and if the tutor asks why just smile sweetly as say "Just like Michaelangelo"!<BR/><BR/>So far as the models are concerned, I think the pole is some form of giant erectile metaphor for the fact that they are 'real men' really....just in case anyone was thinking any different. Either that or essential to all those who are wont to say "I was classically trained"!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-30555517772404857762008-01-31T11:19:00.000-03:302008-01-31T11:19:00.000-03:30Criky I remember my life drawing class's experienc...Criky I remember my life drawing class's experience lol, a steep learning but I did enjoy it.
