Charcoal
Charcoal is a dynamic and versatile medium, perfect for capturing bold, expressive lines and deep contrasts. Life drawing allows for fluid, gestural strokes that bring immediacy and depth to the human form. Its smudgeable nature enables artists to create rich textures and smooth transitions between light and shadow, making it ideal for quick sketches and more detailed renderings.
Pencils
Pencils, a classic medium in life drawing, offer a sense of control and precision that can boost an artist’s confidence. From the lightest of gestures to the most intricate details, pencils allow for a full range of tonal variations. They’re perfect for both beginners and seasoned artists, offering a clean, approachable way to build up form, structure, and depth in figure studies.
Chalk
Chalk, with its delicate, powdery consistency, is ideal for creating soft, ethereal lines and smooth shading. It’s a favourite for life drawing when capturing delicate details or the subtleties of light and shadow on the body. Whether used on coloured or neutral paper, chalk enables artists to explore a range of tonal values and create highly atmospheric works.
Pastels
On the other hand, pastels offer a vibrant colour palette and a soft, blendable texture that sparks creativity. This medium is a beautiful blend of drawing and painting, allowing artists to layer, blend, and create soft gradations in their work. Whether you prefer delicate strokes or bold, expressive lines, pastels bring life and energy to any figure drawing session, inspiring artists to explore the full range of their creativity.
Putty Eraser
Putty erasers are more than just a correction tool—they’re an essential part of the creative process. Flexible and moldable, they allow artists to lift graphite or charcoal, highlight areas, or create soft transitions in shading. In life drawing, putty erasers are invaluable for refining shapes, adding light touches, and enhancing contrast within a composition.
Life drawing is great, they always have great models that are very experienced, and they have loads of art supplies to use. It is a great way to practice and get better with forms.
