Standing at an easel


This doesn't look different from my usual, but I drew the first pencil contours standing at an easel using full-arm movement. I learned I like drawing on my lap a lot better!

Inked over with a Sharpey and a little paint for color on Strathmore drawing paper.

NEAT-O!! I don't like easel work either! I'm so dang nearsighted I see better with the pencil and pad at my nose! LOL

I've never thought about drawing at the easel. I guess I would if I were at life drawing class... I'm with you and Lin, in that I think I prefer a cozy position curled up with my supplies scattered around me on the sofa with a small notebook close to my failing eyes! :) You handled the perspective so well with this little chair. I need to do more chairs!
