Gesture Figure Drawing – Separate Ways

Charcoal gesture drawing of two standing female figures. First one is facing to the left, and her back is visible. One arm is up in the air; the legs are captured as if in between steps. The second figure is pictured from the back, but half turned to the right. One arm on the hip, the other one is relaxed. One leg is straight, the other one is extended to the front.

Some day we will meet and then go our separate ways. That’s the feeling I get from this gesture figure drawing. I drew these from live model at a local art studio. These two feminine figures took about 10 minutes each. I used soft charcoal and newsprint paper. I like the overal feel of these two gestures, but I also see some placed I’d correct. Still, this turned out into a decent drawing that might even have a story behind it. Figures make stories, artists record them.
