Scenes from the Life Room

The first year Illustration students have just commenced an intensive twelve week stint in the life room.

Why?

Well, it's because we're quite 'old fashioned' here at Grillust Towers in believing that our Illustrators should learn to draw with confidence and understanding before they tackle the more 'weighty' illustration projects that will come later in the course.

The ability to draw well, underpins all great illustration. If you want to be a great concert violinist you have to first learn to play your instrument with great competence. It's the same with illustration, you have to develop technical skills (in this case the ability to draw) before you can undertake any illustration problem with confidence.

It's the start of a long journey...


Life Drawing, it's a dirty business

Mmm... lovely lady-like hands.

It's a little known fact that all of Ben's facial hair is actually 'drawn on' by hand each day in charcoal (he uses a mirror).
