Life drawing replay: Castor (Good Faeries/Bad Faeries)

This video is a recording of a live Zoom life drawing session from 9th April 2024. The recording is shared here so that you can catch up and draw from the session if you missed it, or continue to work on a drawing if you attended live! As this is a recording of a live session the quality is limited by Zoom and will be a lower resolution than our our tutored sessions which are recorded locally and undergo more rigorous processing before their release. Please feel free to work from the video directly, or to take a screenshot to work from - if you take a screenshot please do be mindful of the photo guidance below. Click the cog in the bottom right of the screen and select 1080 for the highest resolution image - if you're working on a tablet or phone, enable rotation and turn your device into the orientation of the video for the best view.
