Channel 4 - Life Class
Today's model was Maria Muñoz. Dancer and choreographer... brilliant pose, from two sides. I really enjoyed today's episode.

Channel 4 - Life Class
Today's programme had three shorter poses in contrast to yesterday's single set-up.
Consumate professional Ken Fahy hardly moved at all, he had a great physique that was really interesting to draw.
This was my favourite pose of the lot - there were some fascinating details in the hands that I would have loved to have had more time to observe.
The long pose was this classic foreshortened pose, I'm pretty happy with it - although a little longer would have again been good.
I think this is a great programme, Channel 4 has unsurprisingly had complaints - I can see that from a parental point of view, it's not what you want your child to see at lunchtime - but is it really so offensive?

Channel 4 - Life Class
I sat down to eat my lunch and I found that Channel 4 has been running a programme all this week called Life Class: Today's Nude.
I cast aside my sandwich and quickly grabbed a pencil and some paper and started sketching. Good old Channel 4 - nudity at lunchtime, great for the digestion... anyway, I'm still trying to keep a PG rating here, so, if you're interested, click the image below to view the whole sketch.
For all you artists out there, the programme is available on demand here for the next month. The model was the beautiful Kirsten Varley, and this programme was hosted by Gary Hume (Turner Prize nominee and graduate of Goldsmiths).
I might go back and watch the previous episodes - The show is on again tomorrow and Friday @ 12:30 for 30minutes - with about 15-20mins of model time onscreen (Channel 4+1 could also give you a second crack at the whip, so-to-speak). Hopefully I'll post sketches from these other episodes too.
I thought this was a great opportunity to do some much needed life drawing without expensive classes... the only mild criticism I have is that the incidental music was decidedly "soft porn" - something I think life drawing classes struggle with in terms of the public's perception of what they are - careless on behalf of the programme makers, I think.
