A few weeks ago I attended my first Friday Figure Drawing Workshop at Syn Studio (a bi-weekly event that I’ve always missed out on due to school…).

a.k.a. I don’t know what the nuggets I’m doing! Today’s class was pretty exciting; I had my first experience with ink washing! Above is my first attempt; all I can do is shake my head and shrug… gotta start somewhere!
Here’s a few examples from my Advanced Anatomy art class, taught by the wonderful Oleg Dergachov at Syn Studio Art School. If you live within or around the Montreal area, I highly recommend checking them out. They have a lot to offer!
