I'm trying out different paper, and this one is super smooth. Unfortunately, I don't really know what it's called 🙂 We have it at the studio for free ^^; However, I can't figure out if I like the smoothness. I feel like it leaves less room for erasing as even willow charcoal just wants to … Continue reading Two-pose male figure, charcoal drawing

Here’s a collection of drawings by Oksana Ossipov. These artworks are created using dry and wet media such as charcoal, pencils, pastels, and Copic markers. Some of these drawings are available for sale in her gallery.
More gestures of the same model. I wonder if I should re-draw the ones I like and try to develop them more 🤔
This is a example of getting distracted mid-pose and not finishing it 😀 The other two gestures are ok ^^ These were done on rough newsprint, I think it's my favorite paper so far for warm-up drawings.
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.
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

There's simply no time to switch paper sheets with 1-minute poses 😀 However, sometimes these gesture drawings turn out to be pretty dynamic and interesting. They're also a … Continue reading Tri-figure, charcoal drawing
I see the same problem here, I didn't indicate the model's surroundings, so the pose feels a little awkward. However, I still like it. Now, I usually just block in whatever the model is leaning on.
There was a time when a seated pose was a mystery to me. I can't say that I've mastered it, but at least I don't get a panic attack whenever I hear "let's do a seated pose" xD
Whenever the pose is too short, I just concentrate on one part of the body and sort of just indicate the rest. There's really no need to beat oneself over being unable to do the whole figure in a few minutes. Same goes for an unflattering pose, don't try to challenge yourself to make it … Continue reading Standing and sitting figure, charcoal drawing
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 😀
