Artmagenta on Croquis

Croquis is sketching or figure drawing from a live nude model. Also called life drawing. The purpose is exercise in how to draw the human body. Each pose lasts from 1 to 5 minutes. You are trying to get the correct proportions and balance of the human body. My total exercise will last for about 2-3 hours and most of the sketches are not worth saving/showing - but a small percent comes out as rather good drawings. These are some of those better drawings...

Why do you draw nude models?

Croquis is by far the best training for an artist, it requires a skill for proportions and composition. As humans we all have a sense for the human body; even if you are not artistically trained, you will recognize a sketch that depicts a model correctly
