Dark figure, charcoal drawing
I’ve noticed that on many occasions, I make my drawings too dark from the start. Not sure how to go about correcting this, I guess I need to press lighter on the charcoal stick? ^^; Or maybe I should try some value studies. Any tips?

Runaway, charcoal drawing
Step through the mirror into the whole new world, where you can build anew.

Dynamic gesture, charcoal drawing
I really love the sketch on the left, it’s turned out very dynamic. I think I could make an awesome drawing based on it. Some day… 🙂

Two-pose female, charcoal drawing
Pretty sure these are 20-minutre poses, but most likely I got distracted during the first one. Anyway, I like how both of these turned out. I think it’s time to set new goals for the direction of my art, and maybe for a lengthy post in my blog about how I started 😀

Short pose two-figure, charcoal drawing

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 ~_~

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 🤔
