This model did very dynamic poses, and I really enjoyed capturing them. I think, my drawings really lack that dynamic feel in a lot of cases. Something to work on!

Two standing figures, charcoal drawing
The pose on the left looked pretty dynamic to begin with, but then I decided to add that braid! What a difference *_* Really love how the movement got captured in this one.
Leaning figure, charcoal drawing
I always feel like the stool looks out of place in my drawings. Perhaps I need to work in the horizon line or define the flat area on the floor to ground both the figure and the stool? 🤔
Sitting male figure, charcoal drawing
This is a 20-minute drawing, and I think I got the shoulders right in here.
Standing male figure, charcoal drawing
I think I really need to work on shoulder girdle, it seems to always turn out way too small. This is a 10-minute drawing, but all of the basic structure mistakes are already set in place 😂

Male figure, charcoal drawing

Male figure, gesture drawing

Sitting figure, charcoal drawing
Spent about 20 minutes on this drawing. I think if I added a few highlights, this figure would really pop. Seeing and analyzing my work like this is actually really helpful. 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
Reclining figure, charcoal drawing
Here, I concentrated way too much on the things surrounding the model, and had not enough time to work on the actual figure. However, I do like those pillows xD
