Allicotti strongly believes that with great range of movement possible, together with the anatomical and structural complexity of the body require special demands of an artist's abilities.

Life Drawings are Better than Photographs
A photograph does not offer the subtle variations in
vantage point possible when drawing
from life that enable an artist to grasp
the three-dimensional form of the
body. Even the best photographs provide
mostly an abundance of surface
detail, but not the essence of a pose: its
weight shift and gesture.
|
 |
Draw Better from Photographs
With the repeated
experience of life drawings, one
learns how to use photographs when
it is necessary, or for convenience.
Frequent practice with drawing models imparts knowledge; successful
observational drawing is not simply
about seeing, but understanding what
is seen. Allicotti explains that
the accomplished artist considers that it
is more difficult to get a good drawing
from photographs than from life—usually
the exact opposite for the novice.

Produce a Series of Life Drawing Sketches Quickly
Most life drawings done in
workshops are likely not exceptional,
but some will invariably be of interest
to family and friends and perhaps even
saleable. Regular
life drawing lessons enable artists to quickly build
a portfolio ranging from rapid life drawing sketches
to a series of "resolved" drawings from
longer poses. Begin by first attending
sessions featuring shorter life drawing poses from
three-minutes to a maximum
of 25-minute poses.

Life Drawing: 11 Reasons for Drawing Models & Attending Life-Drawing Sessions
Life drawing lessons and workshops are an ideal setting to discover
prospective subjects for your own
personal creative work. Skillful models
may take life drawing poses that are especially
inspiring, generating ideas for further
exploration. The majority of models are
happy to arrange private sittings, be
it for figure or portrait. In the context
of a workshop, you and the model will
become familiar while working together
in a comfortable group situation.

Look for life drawing lessons or workshops at
local colleges, community
recreation centers, galleries,
museums, artist clubs,
and associations.
Also, other artists—found through galleries,
local art schools, and colleges—
sometimes run life-drawing sessions
in their own studios or belong to drawing
groups that meet regularly to draw
models. This arrangement confers the
added benefit of working with talented
professionals; attend one workshop and,
in turn, find out about
venues from both
participants and the life drawing
models themselves. Learn benefits of attending life drawing lessons and tips on how to draw a model and in this FREE eBook.
