Some stuff from The Figure Society symposium

 There just ain't no other way to say it but the St. Louis symposium was the best art experience I've had.  Robert Liberace, Oliver Sin and Shane Wolf were the 2d artists who headlined the 3 day event and Alicia N. Ponzio, Kevin Chambers & Brian Booth Craig were the 3D artists who created for us.  The stars of the entire event were the models.  Anya and Stephan are Cirque du Soleil performers who gave us the most awe inspiring poses, many of which there was no chance to capture in life.  Nora is a local model who has worked with Shane for a couple of years and gave us some wonderful long poses.  Will, Tess, and others also modeled on the mezzanine for smaller groups.  I drew Will on the first day but afterward focused on the main models.  Below are some of my efforts.  I will cherry pick the ones to share.

 I cannot stress enough how impressive the entire event was and I have already signed up for the second symposium where Dan Thompson has been the first 2D artist to sign on and Andrea Morani is the first top tier model to say yes.  This will be another outstanding event.  Sign up if you want a fantastic three days with top notch artists and models.  I know I can't wait.

Sorry for the delay

 I was attending The Figure Society's inaugural symposium in St. Louis last week.  Wow, but more on that in another post.  Seth and Will shared their images from last Thursday's session.  Thanks to Jeff and Samm for making it happen while I played in the midwest.  Enjoy.

Samm to the rescue






 

  Our scheduled model came down with the flu and Samm graciously stepped in.  Nice group and Kreg took the lead on the pose times.  Democracy in action!

Braving the snow for an evening at the drawing board











 Samm.  A few dedicated souls.  Another evening rendering the figure.  Fun and frivolity ensued.  (Well, fun at least)

Patience part 2




 

 

A pretty good group for Miss P this week.  Nice selection of poses for all of the artists to stretch their skills with.
