Life drawing blitz

It's been a while since my last upload but I now have both some old stuff and some new things to post! It's pretty late and I should be studying, but I can't wait any more!

So, I went home to the UK this weekend just gone and had a great time hanging out with my family and friends for a couple of days :] While I was there I went looking through some old sketchbooks and found one full of life drawing from last year at university, when I attended an evening class with a friend. We'd normally go for noodles afterwards - it's a great combination! I actually originally posted two of the drawings under the vintage-y post, but I thought they'd make more sense here. Anyway, here's the rundown, roughly oldest to newest:

2-20 mins, mixed media

20 mins, Conté on Z's hand dyed paper 

Long pose, HB pencil

Long pose, graphite (re-posted)

Long pose, black smooth pencil (re-posted)

Long pose, HB pencil and coloured pencils

20 mins, HB pencil

Long pose, graphite

And some larger pieces I also kept from the same class (longer poses, assorted media on paper):




I miss life drawing. I'd like to find a class here in Berlin and so far I've come across two possibilities (I don't think they're the same one!). One was a heads-up from a friend, so massive thank you to her for that :] I saw some of her drawings today and she's really talented - I can't believe she's throwing them out because she's got so many! What do the ones she's keeping look like?!
