This set is two quick figure sketches. I actually marked the time for each figure. The first one is 5 minutes, the second one is 2. I like how the 5-minute figure developed, but the 2-minute of has interesting quality to it. As if I captured the most important parts, the rest can be filled in by the viewer. That’s my favorite part about quick figure sketches, parts might be missing, but overall one can usually tell what the figure is doing. Gestures open room for imagination!
As usual, I used charcoal on newsprint paper. I usually use about 7 large newsprint sheets. One stick of charcoal lasts me a year or two. It’s a very economical way to draw!
