Figure Gesture Drawings
-
Short pose female figure, charcoal drawing
Another short pose. I like this figure, and I actually like unfinished look of it.
-
Female figure, charcoal drawing
I think it might be time to start drawing complete figures, and maybe even in color. Maybe I need to switch back to digital drawing and make some characters come to life ^_^
-
Standing figure, charcoal drawing
I’m back to newsprint! So far it’s my favorite practice paper. This drawing took me about 20 minutes. I think the shading and hatching shows that it’s a longer pose. However, whenever I’m drawing, I always think that I’ll finish it later.. and usually never do ^^;
-
Waiting, charcoal drawing
Once again, there’s a certain scene lined up here. I call it “waiting.’ For what? That’s a secret ^_~
-
Two figures, charcoal drawing
This model did very dynamic poses, and I really enjoyed capturing them. I think, my drawings really lack that dynamic feel in a lot of cases. Something to work on!
-
Two standing figures, charcoal drawing
The pose on the left looked pretty dynamic to begin with, but then I decided to add that braid! What a difference *_* Really love how the movement got captured in this one.
-
Leaning figure, charcoal drawing
I always feel like the stool looks out of place in my drawings. Perhaps I need to work in the horizon line or define the flat area on the floor to ground both the figure and the stool? 🤔
-
Sitting male figure, charcoal drawing
This is a 20-minute drawing, and I think I got the shoulders right in here.
-
Standing male figure, charcoal drawing
I think I really need to work on shoulder girdle, it seems to always turn out way too small. This is a 10-minute drawing, but all of the basic structure mistakes are already set in place 😂
