In this set of charcoal figure sketches, I drew two standing figures from front and back. The figure facing front is shown from a side with arms extended as if stretching. I’m sure in reality the model had a balance stick, but I decided to leave it out. Sometimes these poses look more dynamic without balancing devices. The second figure is pictured from the back, but it looks as if she’s walking away from the viewer, lost in her thoughts. I like to come up with little plots for the drawings, so here it’s a stretch after a nap and daydreaming 🙂
Each of these charcoal figure sketches probably took around 15-20 minutes. I used willow charcoal on newsprint paper.
