COMEDIC FIGURE DRAWING MODELS

For comedy drawing sessions I usually prefer draped models. I wish I could remember who drew the model above. 

I don't think oddball contortions are the best use for a comedic model, but they're fine for warm-ups. 


I love comedic male models who can do exaggerated conversational poses. Padded shoulders and white gloves like Daffy's has here add to the effect.


If the model requires a text to stimulate his imagination then the teacher could supply lines from a movie or a poem. Here's an altered version of a poem by Walt Whitman (below). 

[Oops! I'll have to add the poem tomorrow!]



[Commentary on the poem tomorrow!]

Geez, I'd kill to get a female model who could do poses like the one above.  The big butt is no problem. The model could always stuff pillows or towels into stretch pants. The hard thing would be to find a wig like the one above. That's okay, students can always add the funny hair, even if the model's hair is short.


They can make the hands bigger than life, too.


Here's a pose that would require students to draw with a dark, "Sharpie"-type line...or, even better, a thick-and-thin capable brush. Charcoal or some other grey medium would be a great addition.

The idea isn't to copy the Olive Oyl reference slavishly but to make a funny, graphically stark and cartoony caricature of the live model.
