There used to be a time where I'd be unable to tell which model I drew. It was a generic figure and could have been anyone. So I've set my goal to make the figures more recognizable and individual, at least to me. I can tell the person from there drawings, and that makes me … Continue reading Female gesture poses, charcoal drawing

I think this was a longer 20-minute pose, but I can't be sure because at that time I didn't label or date my artworks >.<

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
