Every now and then, it feels like the model does two identical poses in the row until you walk around and check the weight shift.

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.
Sometimes the poses differ so much, and I think nothing of it while drawing... However, looking back at it later, I see just hilarious scenes and have a lot of questions as to what's going on there? This probably was a cool dance party until one of them lost their airpod xD
Whenever I start the drawing sessions with short poses, I just draw them on the same page. If the pose wasn't working out, I just erase it.

I like how this one turned out, but I kind of whish I drew the stool on which the model was sitting. Maybe someday I'll finish it 🙂 However, it might be best not to touch it, since I usually end up ruining it 😀
Whenever I start drawing, it takes me a few minutes to get into it. At first, those short 1-minute poses look like a bunch of lines that barely resemble a figure, but with each pose they take on more shape. Sometimes, it's those initial lines that I like best about the whole figure.
I'm going to post some of my sketches to keep active, and maybe motivate myself to make more art. I've looked back at my Instagram account from 2-3 years ago, and it's nice to see the progress and how far I was able to get. That's the purpose of these sketches, to have something to … Continue reading Two-figure, charcoal sketch
