Life Drawing

I had my first life drawing class today. At first I was a little awkward about the whole thing but soon settled in. to begin with I just used pencil to get into the flow of things, trying to remeber everything I've learnt about observation drawing this past few weeks. I soon went on to use grey markers which I found to be working well with, then developed my idea further and moved onto colour markers on layout paper. As I was doing this I realised I had developed a simple style which reflected my chosen area, illustration. I've been looking into this style and found some things I quite liked...
