This is my next entry for the @merej99 ten-day posts competition. This should be my 5th post ...
In this post, am going to post the processes that actually goes into drawing live models(yin and yang)
The subjects in this drawing are a male and a female. The female is sitting upright on a stool while the male is sitting on a stool that has been placed flat on the floor
STEP 1
The first and foremost facet of a live drawing class is your management of space. You have to decide on whether to use a landscape or a portrait view. For this drawing, I decided to use the portrait format in drawing the figures.
Then, using their head as the unit of measurement, the outline of the space going to be used is drawn. It is paramount that the work is centralized in the middle of the paper.
STEP 2
The next step is drawing a quick sketch of the figures. While drawing the sketch, you could start showing the details for light and shade.
STEP 3
After the sketch, the next step is to start shading the figures. From the face to the folds of the clothes, the different skin tones, the shoes etc...
In art, there are four basic types of shading.
a. Blurring
b. Hatching
c. Cross hatching
d. Pointillism
You could also add scribbling and strokes...
My own method of shading involves the use of three or four different types of shading.
STEP 4
After shading, you could your eraser to create dramatic effect of light on the faces, clothes etc.
I also used a line of horizon filled with motifs to differentiate my background from my foreground.

Am still on my quest to fill up 60 pages of my A3 sketchpad before next week... Still on page twenty.

You are very kind @dean-mno! :)
I think people have really enjoyed seeing such detailed process posts so hopefully it will continue in future as they are really helpful to novice artists just starting out. :)

Drawing people is SO HARD and I am not confident in shading anything without fear of it looking like a hot mess. I see how you've used circles and lines to get their proportions. I don't think I could do that without a good supply of erasers. Well done Dean. :)

#smiles... The thing about drawing is that you have the freedom to actually create your own style. Once you get the proportions right and you pass a message, all is well.
In fact, one of the requirements of my drawing class is not to bring an eraser to class. You have to incorporate your mistake into your drawing.
You just move your hand; draw and try not to look at the paper more than the actual figure when drawing @merej99
