Female gesture poses, charcoal drawing
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

Longer standing pose, 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 >.<

15-minute pose, charcoal drawing
This is a longer pose, so I had more time for details. However, I didn’t switch paper, and it’s tough to add and subtract on low quality paper ~_~

Two-pose male figure, charcoal drawing
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

Short poses, charcoal drawing
More gestures of the same model. I wonder if I should re-draw the ones I like and try to develop them more 🤔
-
Quick gestures, charcoal drawing
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.

Two similar poses, charcoal drawing
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.
-
Multi-pose, charcoal drawing
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

Tri-figure, charcoal drawing
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. 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

Leaning seated pose, charcoal figure 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.
-
Standing and sitting figure, charcoal drawing
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

Tri-figure, charcoal drawing
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.
