90 Minute Art Challenge- Yoga Life Drawing Session
Yeah, this was interesting, especially as I haven't drawn the human form in a while. I wanted to toy with these Copic pens. because my Pitt brush pens are starting to run out, and I don't want to get some more as I'll be moving out soon. Oh well, I might toy with other mediums such as charcoal pencils during next week's session.

90 Minute Art Challenge- Deer Life Drawing Session
This was a really good session to do live. I was uncertain about combining ink with the pencilled drawings underneath, but I think I got some good results here.

90 Minute Art Challenge- Medieval Armour Life Drawing Session
Yeah... this was a challenge. It was awkward trying to get a balance of drawing the figures alongside the armour, without getting lost in the detail. I'm so glad I did this during the livestream as I wouldn't have the energy or focus to finish these all in one session.

90 Minute Art Challenge- Red Panda Life Drawing Session
Yeah, these took a lot longer than expected. Had a lot going on last week, so whilst I couldn't join this Youtube session live, I was able to do this challenge spread across 3 days. Some approaches work better than others, but I feel I didn't get the shapes right these red panda studies, but that's me.
