Figure Gesture Drawings

Slightly leaning figure, charcoal drawing
I think I got shoulder girdle better in here, but there’s still room to learn. This pose took 20 minutes, but I feel like this isn’t the easiest pose to draw in general. There’s a subtle lean on the stool, and it’s hard to catch it for me.

Short and shorter poses, charcoal drawing
The figure on the left took me 10 minutes, and the figure on the right — only 5. That feeling when less effort produces better results… XD
-
Female Figure, charcoal drawing
This one is a 20-minute pose, and looks like she’s walking some place important! 😀
-
Standing figures, charcoal drawing
These are 10-minute poses. I think I captured the basic proportions well in the left figure, which allowed for a more successful rendering afterwards.
-
Two Figures from the Back, charcoal drawing
These ones are also 7-minute poses, I really like the one on the left 😀 Wish I’d worked on the stool more, but I feel like it’s a fair accomplishment in such short time ^^
-
Leaning Figures, charcoal drawing
These two were 7-minute poses. I’m really starting to concentrate on including the surrounding objects that support the figure.
-
Waiting in line, charcoal drawing
Before I started studying figure drawing, I didn’t realize how bendy and twisty the human body is. Now, I need to show this realization on paper! ^^;
-
Two Standing Figures, charcoal drawing
I’ve been studying Bridgman’s book today, and I realized how static my figures are. However, I must add, that’s the way models present the pose… I need to exaggerate turns and twists more!
