Standing figures, charcoal drawing
These are 10-minute poses. I think I captured the basic proportions well in the left figure, which allowed for a more successful rendering afterwards.

Two Figures from the Back, charcoal drawing
These ones are also 7-minute poses, I really like the one on the left 😀 Wish I’d worked on the stool more, but I feel like it’s a fair accomplishment in such short time ^^
-

Leaning Figures, charcoal drawing
These two were 7-minute poses. I’m really starting to concentrate on including the surrounding objects that support the figure.

Waiting in line, charcoal drawing
Before I started studying figure drawing, I didn’t realize how bendy and twisty the human body is. Now, I need to show this realization on paper! ^^;

Two Standing Figures, charcoal drawing
I’ve been studying Bridgman’s book today, and I realized how static my figures are. However, I must add, that’s the way models present the pose… I need to exaggerate turns and twists more!
-

Short pose female figure, charcoal drawing
Another short pose. I like this figure, and I actually like unfinished look of it.

Female figure, charcoal drawing
I think it might be time to start drawing complete figures, and maybe even in color. Maybe I need to switch back to digital drawing and make some characters come to life ^_^

Standing figure, charcoal drawing
I’m back to newsprint! So far it’s my favorite practice paper. This drawing took me about 20 minutes. I think the shading and hatching shows that it’s a longer pose. However, whenever I’m drawing, I always think that I’ll finish it later.. and usually never do ^^;

Waiting, charcoal drawing
Once again, there’s a certain scene lined up here. I call it “waiting.’ For what? That’s a secret ^_~

Two figures, charcoal drawing
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!
