This drawing was done live, capturing Jim, one of the male nurses, in real time. Working from direct observation required careful attention to proportions and quick yet precise strokes to define his features accurately. Light and shadow were used to create depth, emphasizing the contours of his face and the natural folds of his clothing. The challenge of live drawing was in capturing expression and movement, ensuring that the portrait felt dynamic yet true to form. The result is a study in presence, with details shaped by both observation and technique.
