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… Continue reading Tri-figure, charcoal drawing
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.
Seated pose, charcoal drawing
There was a time when a seated pose was a mystery to me. I can’t say that I’ve mastered it, but at least I don’t get a panic attack whenever I hear “let’s do a seated pose” xD
Standing and sitting figure, charcoal drawing

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… Continue reading Standing and sitting figure, charcoal drawing
Half-seated pose, charcoal drawing
I like how this one turned out, but I kind of whish I drew the stool on which the model was sitting. Maybe someday I’ll finish it 🙂 However, it might be best not to touch it, since I usually end up ruining 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.
Two-figure, charcoal sketch
I’m going to post some of my sketches to keep active, and maybe motivate myself to make more art. I’ve looked back at my Instagram account from 2-3 years ago, and it’s nice to see the progress and how far I was able to get. That’s the purpose of these sketches, to have something to… Continue reading Two-figure, charcoal sketch
How to Get Better at Figure Drawing
Drawing from life is one of the best ways to study and improve one’s skills. Recently, I came across a figure drawing class at the Society of Figurative Arts near my home studio and decided to join. It has been quite a while since I did figure drawing from life! It’s so very different than… Continue reading How to Get Better at Figure Drawing
