I missed the gestures in life drawing this week, and, while shaped like a Venus, the model was so persistently "vertical", she could have given David's contrapposto a run for its money!
What do you do when you get no tilts, no tension, no character, no visible energy from the figure in front of you? Well, I say look at all the people drawing around you: they hunch, they squint, they calculate, they look up and down, they dance from side to side, they move fast, think fast and are entirely alive.
So forget what you were supposed to draw, rethink the possibilities and make your own fun!

Lovely character in those! I did fix the comments... I forgot that setting existed, but I must have left it that way when I started the account.
J'aime bcp celui ou le mec souffle sur son dessin!

After perusing your blog and all the wonderful drawings I have to say, in response to your intro, "I'm very glad we met too Dani!"
Hope all is amazing!
Haha,
I'm secretly hoping that the model actually did have that tatooed on her butt cheek. You've got an excellent imagination, and your posts are so fun!
These are great Dani!
I like how the 'no fun' mark conforms somewhat to her buttocks.
You're a draughtsman through and through.
wow...I really really like all your drawings. They are very attractive and eye grabbing. I'm a fan!
Hi Dani,
Just discovered your blog through James'.
Absolutely fantastic drawings and great writing too.
Great work. Very fun drawing. You have the soul of a true cartoonist.
Beautiful sketches, love the attitude and characters in all of them. Amazing.

Wow...these are all terrific! I love your work!
There are so many fantastic works on your blog!
Hey Daniela! You made your own fun and now I can have some of that same fun looking at these! Please keep up the great'satirical' sketches...loaded with personality!
Many thanks, Oh Bill The Anonymous!
Pat, thanks. I'll see you there next Tuesday!
Madame D: je suis très heureuse de ta visite! Moi aussi je l'aime bien celui-là! J'espère que tout va bien au Nippon.
Adrian L, we meet again!!!
Thanks for stopping by. When are you coming to visit in person? At least now we're in the same time zone...
Adrian M, you're so kind! I love your work too!
J, thanks, I learn from the best!
P.S. I think you forgot the WO in draughtswoman...
Minkyu, I'm extremely flattered. Your work is amazing!!!
Justin, I'm very glad you came by. I like writing almost as much as I like drawing!
Joe, that's a great compliment. Thank you.
Randeep, Alan and Aldo: pleased to meet you! Thank you all for stopping by.
Jenny, I'm so happy you like them!
Hello Doodlers! Always glad to provide a healthy dose of satire!
I've been thinking about you, since I just finished reading Persepolis. And the film is aaaalmost out here! I can't wait to see it and read everybody's reviews!
Talk to you soon!
Fantastic...
I love these...
I laughed so hard because I know what you mean. Great to see you get the positive out of a "lifeless" exercise. I think your classmates make fantastic studies. They remind me of watching my brother draw. The tongue poking out slightly, the tilt of the head, the deep concentration. Lots of interesting emotion and expression.
These sketches are priceless. :-)
