Once again, there's a certain scene lined up here. I call it "waiting.' For what? That's a secret ^_~

This is a collection of Oksana’s charcoal drawings and sketches. It exists to document progress in her studies of figure drawing. She started studying figure drawing at the end of 2017.

When I'm drawing, I'm not noticing the mistakes because I stare at the drawing for so long and just get used to it. However, … Continue reading Sitting figure, charcoal drawing
