Drawing of Female Model Sitting on Stool
Drawing female form is harder in my opinion, because there are a lot of curves and naturally, one wants to round everything up.

Drawing of Sitting Female Figure
In this charcoal drawing, I tried to capture the model and surroundings. Drawing a model without whatever she’s sitting on produces an awkward pose, so it’s important to capture the seat as well.

Sitting poses are much harder for me to capture as there are more overlaps. There are parts of this drawing that I like, and parts that I want to correct. But then again, that’s how I feel about most of my drawings! 😁

Drawing of Kia Leaning on a Stool

Female Figure Sitting in the Chair
Here’s another sanguine drawing of a female figure. This time, she’s sitting in a chair. I like the upward direction the pose is giving to the drawing, but I’m not entirely happy with the chair perspective. Still, it’s a good practice drawing and I think I captured the gesture of the pose well. I used

Leaning Female Figure Front, Charcoal Drawing
This is a gesture drawing of a female figure from the front leaning on a stool. I drew it 2019 from life model. It was probably a 20-minute pose as back then I didn’t have the habit of signing every drawing, and can’t be 100% sure. Looking at this drawing now, I see a lot

Learning to Draw – Quantity vs Quality
It seems, learning to draw has never been as easy as nowadays. However, a lot of people confuse lots of repetitive drawing with growth. Sure, practice is important, but drawing mindlessly is quite pointless. Every drawing should teach the artist something. Otherwise, there is no professional development. Without analyzing the work and thinking about improvements,
