The Bartenders<\/h3>\n

Practice, Practice, Practice. In preparation for a live drawing event, I worked on this guy. I needed to get the timing right so that he would be completed in one hour.<\/p>\n

This drawing was the first time I used a photo as a subject to draw. I liked the freedom of using a virtual model, as he was always right there when I needed him, never moved, and had no complaints. A different kind of adventure, and a different way to spend time drawing. As I practiced, I tried to simplify the figure and hoped to zero-in on the bartender’s focus and intent as he does his job.<\/p>\n
