Last Tuesday, I started a new precedent for myself in my quest to better myself creatively: nude figure drawing. I found a place in the city, and I gotta give this guy props, he set up his studio loft for life drawing workshops. It's 10 bucks a pop, and he's got coffee, wine and sodas. He lets you use some of his supplies if you are lacking any. He uses a female model who does a wide range of dynamic and challenging poses. The session consists of 10 1 minute poses, 4 5 minute poses, 3 10 minute poses and 3 20's.
It was such a challenge at first since I haven't done this since college, but I gotta say, I was creatively recharged and refreshed. It was a lot of fun.
Here's some of the stuff I did. Some things are cut off because oversized drawing paper can't really fit the surface of your typical scanner. But check these out:

If you guys feel your creative juices flowing, feel free to join me. It's every Tuesday, from 7-10pm in the city (I'll let you know the exact address, e-mail me). And I'm looking for other sessions like these on weekends in particular, so let me know if you know of any.
Definitely a great start to my year.
Here are pieces done in both traditional and Photoshop:
