I started attending The Atelier, in Minneapolis. Great opportunity to really study the figure, in the classic sense, with some great one-on-one instruction. We are doing sustained poses, over 4 sessions. Here is my first one.
Did a sketch from memory of Marlon Brando, after watching his brilliant performance from Apocalypse Now (Redux). I had taken an online course this past summer, with Stephen Silver, and he talks about memory sketching all the time. I think its a great excercize, and I would like to try more of it.
